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

Short answer - idk. However, Thunderbird is open source, so if you're really curious...

I can say that I sent myself a test email with a Reply To and no List ID, and the only button shown is the Reply button.

Also, the Reply List button has a dropdown that includes Reply List, Reply All, and Reply (TB 52.5.0 32-bit).

I wonder:

How does Thunderbird know it's dealing with a mailing list? Does it
rely on the presence of a "list-id" field?

Does the "Reply List" button always send to the "reply-to" field, even
if the message is NOT part of a mailing list?

If it's a mailing list message, does the "Reply List" button send to
the list even if there is no "reply-to" field?

If it's not a mailing list message but nevertheless has a "reply-to"
field, does the "Reply" button send to the "reply-to" field regardless
of the new config setting?
