Reply to content of "List-Post" header?

[Ralph Seichter]

Either my search-fu is lacking today, or there is really not much
information to be found about this:

Using Notmuch with Emacs, the keys "r" and "R" are bound to "reply to
sender" and "reply to all", respectively. Neither is what I require when
it comes to mailing lists. Is there any way to "reply to list", i.e. to
only the address specified in the "List-Post" header?

I do "R" for reply-to-all and then C-c C-l for
message-to-list-only which reduces the To: and Cc: to the mailing
list address.  I don't know how this works, though.  I assume it
evaluates List- headers.

I tried both "C-c C-l" and "M-x message-to-list-only" on several
messages, but it does not seem to have any effect. I don't see any
error reports, but nothing happens.

According to http://www.gnus.org/manual/big-message.html , Emacs Message
mode processes the "Mail-Followup-To" header, which seems to be a rarity
these days. "List-Post" et al apparently don't factor into it.

You can set message-subscribed-addresses or its cousins; then message-to-list-only will work for you.

Ah, that's what was missing, thank you.

indeed, I forgot: my procmmail scripts recognize mailing list
headers and in the end there is a list of all mailing lists I
ever got mails from and this list is referenced in
message-subscribed-address-file.  So I pretend beeing subscribed to
all these lists which is not true but helps.

Interesting method. I don't use procmail, but I wrote a small shell
script that scans my existing Maildir storage for List-Post headers and
extracts the addresses.

This works, in a fashion, but I wonder if/how it would be possible to
make Notmuch understand List-Post natively? Or is this something that
needs to be solved in Emacs' message composition?
