Ignore reply-to

[Cecil Westerhof]

In some e-mail clients it is possible to send a reply to the address in
the From field, even when the Reply-to field is filled. Is this also
possible in Gnus? Sometimes you want to reply to the original sender and
not to the mailing list.

Yeah, of course this is possible. You enter that To-address, replacing
the one that was taken from the reply-to, that you don't want to use.

or

M-<, M-f, M-f, M-b, C-k, and you're good to go :-)

I have a hunch you want to automate this, but, can Gnus read your mind?
I'd like that ...

No, but just like in for example Mutt it could reserve a key combination
for it. It looks like there is nothing for it, so maybe I should write
something.

Very nice! These moves are Gnus-specific, yes?

Yes.  Type C-c C-f C-h to get a full list of useful keybindings:

,----
| C-c C-f C-a	message-generate-unsubscribed-mail-followup-to
| C-c C-f C-b	message-goto-bcc
| C-c C-f C-c	message-goto-cc
| C-c C-f C-d	message-goto-distribution
| C-c C-f C-e	message-insert-expires
| C-c C-f C-f	message-goto-followup-to
| C-c C-f TAB	message-insert-or-toggle-importance
| C-c C-f C-k	message-goto-keywords
| C-c C-f RET	message-goto-mail-followup-to
| C-c C-f C-n	message-goto-newsgroups
| C-c C-f C-o	message-goto-from
| C-c C-f C-r	message-goto-reply-to
| C-c C-f C-s	message-goto-subject
| C-c C-f C-t	message-goto-to
| C-c C-f C-u	message-goto-summary
| C-c C-f C-w	message-goto-fcc
| C-c C-f a	message-add-archive-header
| C-c C-f s	message-change-subject
| C-c C-f t	message-reduce-to-to-cc
| C-c C-f w	message-insert-wide-reply
| C-c C-f x	message-cross-post-followup-to

I use C-c C-f C-s and C-c C-f C-c quite often.

S B r (without quoting of original) S B R (with quoting).

which are the keybindings for

gnus-summary-reply-broken-reply-to and
gnus-summary-reply-broken-reply-to-with-original

Thanks very much. I thought it should be possible.

See broken-reply-to in the manual:

,----[ (info "(gnus)Group Parameters") ]
| `broken-reply-to'
|      Elements like `(broken-reply-to . t)' signals that `Reply-To'
|      headers in this group are to be ignored, and for the header to be
|      hidden if `reply-to' is part of `gnus-boring-article-headers'.
|      This can be useful if you're reading a mailing list group where
|      the listserv has inserted `Reply-To' headers that point back to
|      the listserv itself.  That is broken behavior.  So there!
