Right, I understand now. Thanks for taking the time to explain.

I'd like to make a couple of suggestions though:

1. Combine the "New message" and "New message to mailing list" into a single 
button with drop down menu (i.e. like the "Forward" button). The way it is 
now I have two buttons on the toolbar with exactly the same icon. The user 
also has to know about the existence of the "New message to mailing list" 
before they can add it to the toolbar.

2. Combine the 3 different reply types into a single button with drop down 
menu (although keep the "Reply to all" button as people are used to it).

3. Group the 3 different reply types into a submenu in the right click context 
menu (like the "Forward" submenu).

4. The default action for the "New message" and "Reply to" buttons should stay 
as they are now. But when the user goes into a mailing list folder the 
default actions should change to their mailing list equivalents.

Regards, Paul.
