[Dovecot] Per-user Reply-To headers
Today (tonight..) I thought maybe I should see how easy this would be to implement:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1469343&group_id=103&atid=350103
So basically if enabled it'd add a "Reply-To: dovecot@dovecot.org" for the mails you *send* to this list. You can of course already do this yourself, but most clients don't support setting it automatically.
I even managed to make it work:
http://dovecot.org/tmp/mailman-2.1.8.replytolist.diff
But should I actually enable it for Dovecot list? It'll probably break completely once Mailman 2.2/3.0 comes out (when does it come?) and I probably won't bother updating it then. And somehow I feel that the patch won't get accepted to upstream version..

Well, lets try it for a while. :) You can set it on from your mailman options web page.
I'm not sure if I should keep it on, will try that also for a while..

Honestly, I don't know if it's needed. Maybe for the few clients that don't have a "Reply-To-List" AND no "Reply-To-All" (Just need to delete a few addresses then), it would be useful, but I'm fine to hit Reply-To-All and remove addresses. I used to be one of those people who complained about no "Reply-To" header, but having read both sides of the argument, I figured the easiest way to solve it for the domains I manage, was to provide them with 'Reply-to-List' buttons ;-)
Still, thanks for giving us a real option!

But the point here is that Reply-to-List isn't what everyone wants.
For example I (unfortunately) often reply to some peoples mails weeks
after they originally asked it. If I just replied to list without
sending a private reply also, I think it's unlikely that many of the
replies would ever get read.
So, with this option you can explicitly tell me that you will read
all the mails in this list and you don't also want private replies.
Like now I'm sending this privately to you also, if you don't want it
enable the option :)
