If you look at http://cr.yp.to/proto/replyto.html, it talks about *two* response functions, which correspond to our --reply-to=sender and --reply-to=all. The idea is to amend reply-all to honor Mail-Followup-To header if it is present in the mail being replied to. I don't think the interface should be more complicated than that. I have added the reply.honor_followup_to configuration because, although widely used, it's not a standard, and therefore some people might not like to respect that. Although I'd argue if the sender of the message has added that header, it's the sender's wish it should be respected. If people think our reply-all should always and unconditionally respect Mail-Followup-To if it's present, I'd be happy to throw out the config option. It's ugly. BR, Jani. PS. Please note that this is only the part that supports the Mail-Followup-To header when replying to incoming mail that has it; adding it to outgoing mail is beyond the scope here.
