[Evolution-hackers] No "Reply All" for Evolution (3) ?



Hi

Many novice users don't understand the Reply and Reply All buttons, so they
often pick one at random or always use just one of them. Just think of people
that reply to chain letters.

A solution to this could be to remove the Reply All button from the main
toolbar and have only one send button like now, but the user is presented with
a list of the recipients if there are more than one.

A mock up of this could be:

The benefit of this idea is that is no longer need to a Reply All button.

It could be made into a complete recipient chooser if it is combined with the
address book.

So sending an email would have these 3 steps:
1. Press Reply
2. Write email
3. Choose recipient(s)


What do you think?
