Nifty. Would you be kind enough to share this recipe? I would |

appreciate it greatly. |

Actually, that is an infrastructure thing. They won't do it, and I |
| 14 |
agree with them. |

Anyway, if Thuderbird has no way to reply-to-list, then Thunderbird |
| 34 |
should be extended. Is there a feature request already out there for |

| 36 |
the context menu, as there's no button for it. |
