[opensuse] Thunderbird conversation add on
12.2, tb 15.0 Hi Some mailing lists do not show the 'reply to list' option, as this list does, when conversation is installed. Is there a setting I need in the add on? Thanks, L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I doubt it very much. Some lists simply don't convey the information in the headers, headers that you normally don't see. If you look at the raw message you will see something like List-Post: mailto:opensuse@opensuse.org in the headers for the lists that have a 'reply to list'. The lists I subscribe to that don't have that header don't produce an active 'reply to list' button in Thunderbird. See, for example http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2369.txt http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2919.html You might also look at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/display-mailing-list-head... but I suspect that is not exactly what you are asking about. My point is that if the list manager software doesn't use that field, and Yahoogroups and others don't, then there is no 'reply-to-list' as a separate function. Recall, however, that we have debates here as to whether the basic 'reply-to' should be to the list or the author. With Yahoogroups 'reply-to' is to the list, that is it does what 'rely-to-list' does here. -- [Alice] has courage which can only be described as awesome. Against all odds, over a noisy telephone line, tapped by the tax authorities and the secret police, Alice will happily attempt, with someone [Bob] she doesn't trust, whom she cannot hear clearly, and who is probably someone else, to fiddle her tax returns and to organize a coup d'etat, while at the same time minimizing the cost of the phone call. A coding theorist is someone who doesn't think Alice is crazy. - John Gordon at the Zurich Seminar, April 1984 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Even if the message header contains a List-Post element, the Reply List option only appears in tb conventional view. That's why I thought that I had overlooked a setting in the conversation add on. What I can't understand is that conversation sometimes displays Reply List for this list but never for others (even though they have a List-Post entry). Back to the conventional view for now.

Fascinating! But I don't see a clear benefit over the 'threaded' lists that Thunderbird already has. More visual display, yes, but that eats up already precious screen real estate. Given that, I'd rather have more of the message or more messages displayed in 3-panel mode. As it is, I'm seriously looking at running my screen in page mode[1]. Something like a 1920 x 1080 ... since 1024 is adequate for the KDE bottom panel. Or perhaps dual display... much more screen real estate that way :-) [1] After all, much of what I do and probably what you do too is "page mode". Wide-screen is nice for many applications like editing (documents, programs) but when reading mail or web pages you tend to be in "logical" 'page mode' so why not "physical" 'page mode' as well? -- Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign. --John Stuart Mill -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
