Answering to emails with multiple Reply-To: addresses

RFC 5322 - Internet Message Format allows multiple, comma separated email addresses in the Reply-To-Header:
In either case, an optional reply-to field MAY also be included, which contains the field name “Reply-To” and a comma-separated list of one or more addresses.

If I click on “reply” in emclient it only uses the very first email from the Reply-To header as the new To: header.
It would be correct to add all addresses from the Reply-To header to the To header of the new email.

I guess you are correct.

You could use Reply All, but you don’t know that the sender has used more than one Reply-To address.

I changed this to a Feature Request.

Reply All does not do the trick.
Reply All replys to the first email address of the Reply-To header and all email addresses from the FROM / BCC headers. But if a second or third email in the Reply-To header is not part of FROM BCC it is not included at all.
I think it is a bug, not a feature :wink:
emClient should respect RFC 5322 :wink:
