We had a similar discussion already a while ago (in the dev list, I believe). I'm not sure if it was exactly the same scenario or issue, but anyway, here we go again:
When replying to a message in any of the Roundcube lists, not only me is used to simply click the "Reply to sender" button. Usually, the reply then goes to the list as it should.
A reply to the message quoted below (and attached) does NOT go to the list upon clicking the "Reply to sender" button - it goes to the address stated in the Mail-Reply-To: header instead - but, even worse, ONLY to this address. This is not correct, IMO, and it's not the intention of the sender.
This is a problem in so far as this may too easily be overlooked upon composing a message. When you reply to a list message, you simply and blindly expect that the reply goes (at least) to the list.
Furthermore, the mail in question has a clear Reply-To: header, stating that any reply should go to the list AND the sender. This is currently being ignored by Roundcube.
From my point of view, you shouldn't and can't expect the Roundcube user to
first inspect all headers before clicking the Reply button. Even less you shouldn't and can't expect the Roundcube user to anticipate, how Roundcube would behave with this or that combination of headers (especially non-standard headers such as "Mail-Reply-To:") when clicking the Reply button. Especially not, if he can't even see all of those headers.
In short: Clicking the reply button on a list message should (at least) address the message to the list, no matter what. Even better, it should send it to all addresses in the Reply-To: header, because that's what the purpose of the header is - and, even more important, what the intention of the sender was, when he added his address to the list of Reply-To: addresses. Believing, that this would of course be respected by the replicant's MUA! And while not having any influence on the Mail-Reply-To: header at all.
Please please deal with this issue. And please don't care what Mozilla does, even these folks are not doing everything right.

People,
I know it is bad form to reply to yourself but now I have found a few issues:
PDFs don't seem to open in another tab anymore
when I reply in a new window the mail is not marked as read and
the mail item is not marked with a little "replied to" arrow
Regards,
Phil.

Dear friends of Roundcube We're proud to announce the beta release of the next major version 0.9. With this milestone we introduce some important changes under the hood as well as some nice and long-awaited features:
- First of all, the Roundcube Framework. The core classes providing
the strong base of Roundcube's functionality have been extracted and decoupled into a Framework package. They can be used individually in other open source projects looking for solid functionality around IMAP, SMTP, MIME-handling and more.
- Another major change is the new database abstraction. In order to
add support for SQLite3 the PEAR:MDB2 dependency was dropped and Roundcube now uses the native PHP Data Objects (PDO). ATTENTION: due a small lack in the MySQL PDO driver, this version of Roundcube requires PHP 5.3 when using the MySQL database.
- Finally we also added some new features:
- Download all attachments as zip archive (zip module required)
- Render thumbnails for image attachments (imagemagick is recommended)
- Compose and mail view in new windows (configurable in user settings)
- Upload attachment files and contact photos with drag & drop
- Forward multiple emails as attachments
- Show contact photos in mail view
- CSV import for contacts
And of course plenty of small improvements and bug fixes. See the complete Changelog at http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Changelog and download the new packages from http://roundcube.net/download. Please note that this is still a beta release and we recommend to test it on a separate environment. And don't forget to backup your data before installing. Have fun and let us know how the new Roundcube performs in your environment. Cheers, Thomas P.S. We're still looking for volunteers helping us to keep the translations of the Roundcube UI up-to-date. To make it even easier for you, we recently moved to Transifex. Visit our project at https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/roundcube-webmail/ and join our translation teams. _______________________________________________ Roundcube Announcement mailing list announce@lists.roundcube.net http://lists.roundcube.net/mailman/listinfo/announce
