When displaying a message, if MFT exists, and none of the given addresses would cause MFT to be generated for a response, then we can give a warning, and maybe offer to add the address (if there's only one) to this group's parameters (assuming the new mail-address vector parameter). This could be used to automatically add mailing list aliases whenever a new one shows up, as well as the main address when the user hadn't gotten around to it yet. > Warning, using Mail-Followup-To which is not addressed to an address > that you subscribe to. Continue? (y, n) I'm not sure what "n" would mean in this case, but it doesn't seem very useful. paul
