Description Christian Schulte 2003-07-16 00:34:45 UTC
Version:           1.5.2 (using KDE 3.1.2)
Installed from:     (3.0)
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-3-686-smp

Look at the screenshot I attached:

If I click reply-all in the toolbar kmail creates a new message like:

To: Jonathan Marsden <jonathan@bach.xc.org>, <dhlii@dlasys.net>
Cc: <info-cyrus@lists.andrew.cmu.edu>
Subject: Re: Is it possible  to store user contact/ address book in imap server?

what I want kmail to do is to create a message which will go to any one having posted in the whole thread. So in this particular situation this would be a message going to:

daniel qian
Dave McMurtrie
Mike Brady
Ted Fines
James A. Pattie
John Hayward
Tarjei Huse
Wil. Cooley
David H. Lynch Jr.
Cyrus Daboo
Jonathan Marsden
twk

That is the way mozilla-mail does it and I cannot see any particular reason why that should not be ! I cannot find the reply-all function usefull in any ways the way it works now...

Reply to all sends a reply to the sender and all recipients of the message you reply to. It 
doesn't make that much sense to send a reply to more people because these other people 
either didn't receive the message you reply to (so they already missed part of the discussion) 
or they already received the message you reply to via the mailing list which your reply also is 
sent to (so it's not necessary to send your reply directly to them). So I fail to see the problem 
and I think Mozilla's behavior is wrong. 
Anyway, if someone implements a "Reply to all people in this thread" then we will probably 
add it.

Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented.
Thank you for your understanding.

Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
