Description Bernd Oliver Sünderhauf 2012-11-26 21:48:08 UTC 
In order to simplify the UI, "Reply to Mailing-List" should only be offered if the current mail in fact is from a mailing list (= message list headers are set).
In other cases the option should be hidden as non-applicable.

This concerns the following UI elements:
- Main menu: Message -> Reply Special
- Message viewer toolbar
- Message list context menu
- Message preview pane context menu

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Bernd Oliver Sünderhauf 2012-11-26 22:19:19 UTC 
Just found out that the menu item Create filter -> Filter on Mailing-List and the Mailing-List submenu already reflect this, so the code is already there and available.

Additionally the menu item Create filter -> Filter on Mailing-List mentions the name of the list (obviously the first part of the List-ID), which would be nice here, too.
Comment 2 Bernd Oliver Sünderhauf 2012-11-26 22:24:45 UTC 
Same for "New Message to Mailing-List" in the main menu -> Message. This should also be disabled when a non-list mail is active, and would be nice to mention the list name.
(Sorry for the many pings.)

We can't add it. Otherwise size of menu will too big.

That might unfortunately be true.
However, the main aspect of this issue (disable mailing-list options, if inapplicable) remains relevant (see description + comment #2).

For 'Reply Special' it's not very easy to fix it.
We must parse mail before it.
Not sure if it's possible for the moment.

New Message to M-L doesn't fill in the To field (4.10.2).
