Correct, I think List-Post is the corresponding header to the List-Reply
function I am speaking of. I burred too much with the term "List-Reply:
header field". Thanks for clarification.

But if you don't see the term list-reply in
http://marc.merlins.org/netrants/listreplyto.txt
then your browser search function is seriously broken.

A dedicated button for List Reply is a very elegant version of my wish
of making that configurable.
But to make this usable at all, cyrus mailman has to include this header
field, so a list-reply function knows what's the adress of the list and
which adresses are persons which are on To: line, too.

At the moment, the MUA can support whatever it wants, it cannot know
what's the list address.

Best,
Daniel
