Hey Jegor!

I've used both tin and slrn for awhile now. I keep going back to slrn over tin, though. Either way, slrn supports this also.

I'm guessing it's moreso Windows clients that are more difficult to do the same thing (except maybe Claws Mail). Even with Thunderbird (which is what I use) you have to edit your config to add an option for "X-Comment-To" so it appears in your ">>" dropdown menu, then selecting it and filling in the blank, typing in the name you are writing to (ie: way too time consuming when just trying to reply to a message).

Good thing Synchronet can be set to do this for you, otherwise I wouldn't be using Thunderbird right now. ;)

Regards,
Nick
