Re: [libreoffice-users] Reply settings on this list have changed

I did not know that you could "make" the email client state "Reply List" 
instead of the text on the "Reply All" button.  I run Thunderbird 14.0.

I have to get use to using the "Reply List" instead of "Reply" to post a 
message to the thread.  It could be confusing to people, but does make 
it easier to send a message to the poster, off list.  I use to copy the 
email address of the poster and then paste it to my "To:" section.  This 
will be easier to do that, but hopefully not too many people will forget 
to use the "new" "Reply List" button instead of the "Reply" button.
