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
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.
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.)

(In reply to comment #3) > (In reply to comment #1) > 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).
