  <description>IMP ignores additional list-* header-field tokens and chooses the less approriate one</description>

   <description>Recently google-groups added an additional post mechanism to the List-Post field in mails from their lists:

List-Post:  &lt;http://groups.google.com/group/some-group/post?hl=&gt;, &lt;mailto:some-group@googlegroups.com&gt;

vs. the earlier one:

List-Post:  &lt;mailto:some-group@googlegroups.com&gt;

This is completely valid by RFC.

However, IMP now displays only the first token (the url) when choosing to display the List-Headers, as well if we choose to reply to the the list (Reply -&gt; To List) IMP chooses the url as recipient.

Regarding RFC 2369 [1] this header is correct but it is up to the MUA to choose the option he can use, which would be the mailto: option in IMP&#039;s case.

Hence IMP should:

- Display all Tokens in the List Header Overview
- Prefer the mailto Token over any url token

   <description>&gt; - Display all Tokens in the List Header Overview

No. From RFC 2369[2]:

   A list of multiple, alternate, URLs MAY be specified by a comma-
   separated list of angle-bracket enclosed URLs. **The URLs have order of
   preference from left to right.** The client application should use the
   left most protocol that it supports, or knows how to access by a
   separate application.

We are viewing on a web browser.  Thus, by definition, a HTTP URL is supported.  So we show ONLY the first element we support when reading left-to-right.  Google is telling us that it prefers we post to groups via the web (for obvious reasons) than via e-mail so we need to honor that preference.

&gt; - Prefer the mailto Token over any url token

No. See above.

However, when replying, we obviously need to grab the e-mail address.  So this part needs to be fixed.</description>

ok, I agree. It&#039;s a point of view, if IMP is either more a Web-Application, hence Web-Access preferred, or a MUA which prefers the mail way. But you are the people deciding that.

&gt; However, when replying, we obviously need to grab the e-mail address. 
&gt;  So this part needs to be fixed.

fine. Thank you!</description>
