I know about the "Reply List" thing; I neglected to mention, in fact, that I tried both "Reply All" and manually invoking "Reply List", with identical results.

Look; "Reply All" is obviously doing the right thing now as I post this reply. It's going to you, Arne, and Cc: to the RCU list!

So does that mean that it did, or that it didn't detect a mailing list?

(Is this feature tested only against the RCU list?)

I don't agree with "Reply All" doing a "Reply List" if a mailing list is detected. The proper way to reply to a mailing list is "Reply All".  Which means ...

There is absolutely no need for a "Reply List" misfeature.

For users who really want this, the button should be called "Click here to reply in a moronic way if you think that RFC stands for some sort of fried chicken franchise".

Hi All,

Anyone had the following problem?

When replying to a new mailing list posting with "reply all", the reply goes only To: the mailing list.

Expected behavior: To: the person, Cc: to the mailing list.

The message in question has no Reply-To: header or anything of the sort. The relevant headers are just:


From: user@gmail.com

To: mailinglist@example.com


I'm a subscriber of the mailing list. I hit Reply All, and I get only one address: "mailinglist@example.com".

Unless there is a Reply-To: header, the From: address must be one of the To: recipients! 

Default behavior of the Reply-all button is to reply-list if a list is detected. Note the small drop arrow next to the Reply-all button.

My organization found that behavior very annoying, so we made some feature requests. The devs implemented my favorite in version 1.0-beta - http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1488734

Assuming you are not using the beta version, you can tweak the code to eliminate this behavior globally if you wish. It's documented in the ticket above.
