Ah, yes. Thank you. I'll read through that.

The problem is that with the introduction of List-* header, several 
MUAs now have a "list reply" function, which will only reply to the 
list mailbox. The multiple Reply-To trick doesnt work.

Given that List-* allows MUAs to now behave differently if list 
context is detected (typically: mail only list), I'd like a way for 
originator to affect behaviour of responding MUAs in that context.

I'll read that thread.
