I can understand.

Well, in another life, maybe ;)

With which keybinding?

Well,
- for mailing lists, `F` doesn't work (ML address in CC only) and `R`
does work,
- for newsgroups, `F` does work and `R` doesn't work (I'm asked if
I really want to reply by mail to article author),
- for love letters, I cannot test (I receive too much of them, hence
considered as spam and automatically deleted),
- for break-off letters, `F` and `R` do work but behave differently: the
sender's address is in TO but `F` adds my address in CC.

Maybe that's the point.

Unfortunately, I cannot help.

Not more confusing than the rest ;)
