Re: *** ADMIN: Attn Thunderbird Users: Reply-to behavior

In my feeble mind, Thunderbird IS the email client. I use it to

I admit I don't use Thunderbird on my phone, so I wouldn't know about
that.

Outlook doesn't have a reply to list option ... iOS mail doesn't either.

Thunderbird is AN email client ... not THE email client. :)

The issue is (or was), the TBird devs decided that mailing list use of the reply-to email header was a bad thing and programed it in a way to prevent it's use.

People didn't like this, so now there is a way to get the old behavior back.

Thunderbird now behaves like most other email clients ... and as list managers intend their lists to be used.
