GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 234608
Add "Reply to List" to the toolbar
Last modified: 2003-12-25 00:07:31 UTC
I've created a patch to Evolution which replaces the "Reply to All" button on the toolbar with "Reply to List". I greatly prefer to the Reply to List feature, since it encourages people to send replies to the group, without unnecessarily copying the sender, and any people who have replied to the thread along the way. Currently, this feature is "hidden" in a menu and probably doesn't get used very often, as people either don't know about it, or more likely, are too lazy to go find it in the menu, when the Reply to All button is "right there" on the toolbar. There are currently a couple of potential "issues" with this patch. The first is that it simply re-uses the existing "Reply to All" icon. This can make the menu items slightly harder to distinguish. It could really use it's own icon. The second is that I haven't added an accelerator key. I'm not sure, but it seems to be a policy that anything on the toolbar has an accelerator, so one would need to be decided upon for this. I'd suggest something with either "l" for list, or "g" for group.

I'd love to see the Reply (or the Reply-to-All) button become a drop-down list in the style of New button to accomodate different styles of reply, i.e. simple, to all, to list.
Toolbar is gone in 1.5
