Thunderbird lacks the ability for replying to list using List-Post: header. Recent thread on -dev showed that maybe I'm not the only one missing it, so I've decided to fill this bug. There's an extension that adds button/menuitem/keyshortcut for replying to list. Unfortunately due to Thunderbird's limits of exposing headers and creating replies for custom addresses via extensions, so the extension needs to patch the source (for the reply creation, the patch is merged upstream but scheduled only for version 3.0 and that's quite long in future) and also to have mhenhy or enigmail extensions (those have some large workarounds for exposing the headers) installed. Fortunately on Gentoo, patching source is easy, and we already have enigmail installing via crypt useflag :) So it would be nice to have the source patch in portage, allowing people to install replytolist extension from $URL over enigmail, or even have the extension itself in portage, installed through some USEflag, depending on enigmail... I leave that up to you. Myself, I've been using the patch via local overlay, installing extension as user manually and it works great for me.

Fix is part of 2.0 <- Per Anarchy
I'm pleased to see that going in :) Just a minor point -- it looks like the patch file (in mozilla-thunderbird-2.0_alpha1-patches-1.2.tar.bz2) could do with cleaning up: $ bzcat 301_reply-to-list.patch.bz2 | diffstat mail/base/content/mailCommands.js | 3 mailnews/base/resources/content/mailCommands.js | 3 mailnews/compose/public/nsIMsgComposeParams.idl | 1 mailnews/compose/src/nsMsgCompose.cpp | 40 mailnews/compose/src/nsMsgCompose.cpp.orig | 5020 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ mailnews/mime/public/nsMailHeaders.h | 1 6 files changed, 5063 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) I presume that .orig file should have been excluded from the diff, although I doubt it will cause any problems.
