I have very few customizations to begin with, and certainly none that redefine 'reply' functions (am using stock Emacs 25.1). No fancy stuff whatsoever! I just did some further tests, sending mail to myself from other accounts, putting multiple recipients in "CC" and/or "To". The behavior is the same: 'r' just puts the sender into "To". :-( I recall experimenting with Rmail last year using Emacs 24.5, and I witnessed the same behavior as now regarding 'r' (again, during my tests). In fact, last year I gave up on Rmail for this reason, but now decided to try again. Strange. I guess that I have to do further tests. (Otherwise I like Rmail!) Thanks for your reply. C.
