Re: [PLUG] Thunderbird email client ignores Reply-To field...


Charlie,

Good to know.  But, I'm no more likely to remember to hit Reply List
than to hit Reply-To-All, which would also send to the list.  I wanted
a fix that would mean I could just hit Ctrl-R (Cmd-R on Mac) as usual
and have it do the right thing.  The Config Editor setting does that for
me.

Thanks!

Thunderbird users who post to PLUG,

I just noticed that some of my replies to this list never got here.

The reason is that a recent upgrade of my Thunderbird email
client started ignoring Reply-To fields in emails from mailing
lists like PLUG.  So replies go only to the From field (the original
poster), not the Reply-To field (the PLUG list).

This was an intentional change by the Thunderbird developers.
I'm not sure why, and I've asked them to change it back.  See
details here:
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1470271

I'm running 52.8.0 (soon 52.9.0). There is a "reply list" button when
Thunderbird detects a mailing list, which populates the To header with
the mailing list address instead of the poster's.
