Because my mailman don't send the Reply-To-Header because this has to
be done by the MUA. On xfce4-dev the Reply-To-header is sent.
Some months ago, I read some things about this topic, because I used
Thunderbird and it has the same problem as your GMail, it replies to
the author instead of the list. But setting the Reply-To-header is not
the solution and is strongly discouraged. I'm not exactly sure at the
moment, but I believe i read something about a RFC violation or
something similar.

This should be possible with GTK's main loop, it is some kind of a
separate thread.

But however the solution will look like, it has to wait until 0.9.
We just want to do some little fixes(esp. regarding encoding code) to
0.8 and then we release it.
