To me, too. Perhaps the `Reply to group' entry on the context menu 
should become a `List...' submenu, with options that are sensitized 
according to which actions are feasible. The HIG ( 
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/draft_hig/ ) suggests that 
popup menus not have submenus, but we already have a couple, and we 
might as well be hanged for a sheep...
