Being the faulty who did the first mistake in this thread, let me explain
why.
I'm using Claws for my $DAYJOB, as well as many lists. But for $DAYJOB, I
often have to reply to multiple persons and using Ctrl+Shit+R (Reply All),
which I'm unfortunately also sometimes using when doing an ML reply...

And keeping the ability to have list+origin sender is important, as some ML
allow posting from non-member, who you want to copy when replying ;)

Many things were written, but IMHO, this is not Claws fault, but mine and
only mine.

Paul
