Hello, David
Apparently, in Thunderbird 31.0, "Reply List | Reply List" doesn't do
what I thought that it would do.  The other two choices were "Reply List
| Reply All" and "Reply List | Reply".  So, I meant to have this sent to
the list, but I failed :)

I will try this right away!  Again, I am no programmer, just a regular
Linux user.  But playing around with stuff like this that I THINK I
might be able to handle is very relaxing to me...
