[ale] ALE reply-to changes needed??

[Joe Steele]

Without taking sides on this issue (and generally wishing the issue 
would die, regardless of how it turns out), here's a suggestion for 
those who have problems with the current behavior of the list 
software  -- Add a recipe in your .procmailrc which removes the 
munged reply-to header:

:0f
*^Reply-to: ale at ale\.org
|formail -R Reply-to X-ale-reply-to

This should solve most of the issues.

I know I should have never brought this up.  But, here's why the way it 
works now is painful for me.

Currently, if I select reply, it goes to the list.  I'm okay with that.
If I select reply to all, it still only goes to the list.  This sucks 
for me, because if I want to send the email to the original poster, I 
have to enter their email in the To field.  On Mozilla, that means 
either cut and paste, or select if from current list in my address book.

On the old server, if I selected reply to all, both the ale address and 
the original poster were listed and then all I had to do was delete the 
ale address if I wanted to send a private email to the original poster.

Ideally I'd like to see reply go to the list, reply all to go to both 
the original poster and the list, so I have the option to remove the ale 
address for private posts.

Unfortunately, I don't think the current software can be configured that 
way.
