I just read this on gnu.emacs.gnus - where it was quoted (although that message was a bit confusing as well :) - did you see it? You are using Gnus, so why not use the mailing lists as newsgroups? Or do you use mailing lists that aren't available as newsgroups, and then mail-split them to sort-of newsgroups? But it doesn't really matter - if you found that `S L' works (`S L' is `gnus-summary-reply-to-list-with-original'), why don't you just bind it to a shorter keystroke? Or do you want it to be exactly `r' and `F', but have them work transparently based on "is it a private mail, or is it a listbot mail" DWIM-style? That would have to involve extracting this from the headers somehow if Gnus isn't capable to do this already. In either case, isn't it a lot of work for such a small gain? Why don't use `S L', or rebind it to a single key? -- underground experts united
