[mlmmj] problems with Apple Mail

[Florian Effenberger]

Hi,

I run mlmmj, but experience problems with Apple Mail. Moderation,
subscription and the like does not work, as Apple mail seems to ignore
the Reply-To header and always uses listname+help@listhost.
Thunderbird, Google Mail and others work like a charm.

You can test it out yourself: Try subscribing to your own list using
Apple Mail (Mail.app). You get the confirmation message, but you won't
be able to reply to it...

Any advice?

Thanks,
Florian

Ok, found the culprit - a srange setting in Mail.app caused that.
Sorry for the false alert and thanks for the great software!

Well, of course, the simplest advice is to click the link in the email
rather than pushing reply. That should still work.

It is indeed really strange, though. I'll try to fire up Apple Mail at
some stage and have a closer look.

Ben.

WOW, thanks a lot for the fast reply! Looks like my Mail.app has
problems -- sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, and I don't see
a pattern. The headers look great, though...

Seems to be a bug in Apple Mail. When I do NOT save messages locally
at all, then this issue occurs from time to time. Reproducible, but
without a pattern.
