Hello,

One recurrent subject posted in lists is how to change list behavior to 
allow Thunderbird to works with lists. The mountain remain in the same 
place so Mahoma should move.

According to the RFC 2369 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2369.txt) list 
servers will send header that identify the list, here examples from 
Debian lists:

X-Mailing-List: <debian-user-spanish@lists.debian.org> archive/latest/123444
X-Loop: debian-user-spanish@lists.debian.org
List-Id: <debian-user-spanish.lists.debian.org>
List-Post: <mailto:debian-user-spanish@lists.debian.org>
List-Help: 
<mailto:debian-user-spanish-request@lists.debian.org?subject=help>
List-Subscribe: 
<mailto:debian-user-spanish-request@lists.debian.org?subject=subscribe>
List-Unsubscribe: 
<mailto:debian-user-spanish-request@lists.debian.org?subject=unsubscribe>


The problem exists because Thunderbird does not recognize this kind of 
headers and all reply goes directly to senders.

I believe and others too that Thunderbird should:
	a) reply to list or new reply-to-list button
	b) support digest mails and allow to reply individual mails
	c) allow html only
	d) assign "to:" according to the list. I suppose "X-Apparently-To:" should be.

It is impossible to customize or replace headers using filters which may be an option until Thunderbird support Lists

Later,
Manuel Soto

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.reply to a list


Actual Results:  
The message is composed using: account's mail and to message originator not to list


Expected Results:  
Message composed w/:
from: X-Apparently-To. Account email if missing
to: list-post
see bug 223129, but only mentions unsubscribe/help functions

reply-to-list is bug 45715, but doesn't rely on these headers (although they would make it easier to detect a list).
