And even better, it appears that the Reply-List only appears when there is a mailing list header in the email being replied to, probably the "List-Post" header in the email.On 10/07/2020 10:40, David Bell wrote:On Fri, 10 Jul 2020 09:54:24 +0100 Terence Hill via list <list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Sorry about that.

DavidYes, sometimes it is easy to mis-interpret the intended "tone" of an email, you may read it as someone melting down, but it probably wasn't written in that way.My thunderbird has a "Reply List" button, what I think would be a nice feature (perhaps it already exists?), would be to bottom post when replying to list, and top posting when replying to a single person.
Anyone care to write an RFC to define a "List-Composition-Preference:" header? That way you could configure mailman to tell the email client what is the preferred top-posting / bottom-posting for each particular mailing list?
Perhaps it already exists, but it would have saved tonnes of bandwidth over the years with polite "don't top-post" requests.
