There's no way for me to know who is subsribed and who isn't without a mail-followup-to. My mailer does this for subscribed lists automatically. When I hit group reply, if it sees the mail-followup-to, it will use that, else it will make sure the mail gets to you by sending it to both the list and the sender. http://cr.yp.to/proto/replyto.html 2) My mailer strips duplicate messages based on message-id automatically for clients that don't support mail-followup-to and have the weaker group reply. They get filtered into a special duplicates folder. 3) My mailer uses the in-reply-to and references headers to thread the messages. Your mailer doesn't include these, which breaks the message context. http://cr.yp.to/immhf/thread.html All those integrated into mutt, spam (spambayes) and virus (clamav) filtering, procmail filtering for mailing lists, and automatic month-old mail archiving (fcrontab on my Maildir folders) have increased my mail utility by an order of magnitude.
