Subject: ignore reply-to when 'replying'..
Date: 07 Jun 2002 15:23:52 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ap38z5qoptj.fsf@student1.physics.umd.edu> (raw)


A wide-reply currently does not include the from: header if the
reply-to: header is different.  What does a person do if they really
want to reply to the from: of the article.


is there a way to do what pine does-->

Provide an alternative to S W which includes *both* from: and
reply-to:'s.  

(pine does it slightly differently---it asks you a y-or-n-p whether to
ignore reply-to header, but IMHO, the user is looking for a "real
wide" reply when they do a wide-reply---so one should include both :) 

(i think i read in the manual that one can set a group-parameter that
will always ignore reply-to for within that group, but IMHO, this
option should be available on a per-mail basis.  )
