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

[Fred Stluka <fred@bristle.com>]

Alan (and other PLUG Thunderbird users),

I'm re-sending this tip since I got a direct reply from Alan recently,
when he may have intended to reply to the entire list.

Be warned that a recent release of Thunderbird ignores the "Reply-To"
field on all PLUG mailings and replies directly to the poster instead of
to the whole PLUG list.

See below for how to fix that
