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

I'm sort of confused, but that's normal. In Thunderbird, I have two

goes to the list.

I'm on version 52.5.0, which is quite recent, but this behavior has
been around a while.

Not all email clients have a "Reply to list" option.

When TBird 52 was released, they made a decision (misguided, in my opinion) to ignore the Reply-To message header when replying to a mailing list message.

They've now given a workaround to that behavior.
