I realize I'm relatively new to this list, and I've been kind of lurking lately, but I agree. Not all mail clients have a reply list functionality. Yes, we can be condescending pricks and tell them to go get a "real" mail client, but that's a load of BS in my opinion. A GREAT example of a mail client that doesn't support Reply-To-List is the Gmail interface. Last I checked, for lists like this you've got to Reply-To-All, then cut out the original sender's address. Not too difficult, but I would argue that's fairly annoying. As a side note, the whole condescending, "I'm better than you because I use <foo> as my <task> client" attitude that lurks in the Linux community is unhelpful and if this list is serious about helping newbies, then I would also argue that people need to check that attitude at the door. I know plenty of people who have nearly quit learning Linux (including myself back in 2001) because of the unhelpful attitudes many *nix users have. This is a discussion for another day however. -Adam
