I'm terrible at remembering to reply to all, and today I realized that sup can
help!

I started off making a reply-to hook that takes the array of types sup is
planning to offer in the Reply To field.  I thought the hook would do some fancy
logic and return the right type.  Then I realized I could just list the order of
my reply-to preferences, and pick the first element of the intersection.

  ([:list, :all] & types)[0]

The return value is only used if it's in the types array, so no worries about
nil.

A hook seems like overkill for this one-liner, so maybe it would be more
appropriate for config.yaml?  It makes sense as something in config, but I
hesitate because it would be the first code object (well, the first that _looks_
like code), and because less config variables is good.

I prefer to reply to a mailing list, then all participants:

  $ cat .sup/hooks/reply-to.rb
  ([:list, :all] & types)[0]
---
I've been happily using this locally, and forgot to send it to the list. :P

Excerpts from its.jeff.balogh's message of Thu Apr 24 01:23:10 -0400 2008:

Neat.  For reference for anybody interested in using this, possible
values are in lib/sup/modes/reply-mode.rb:5

:sender => "Sender",
:recipient => "Recipient",
:all => "All",
:list => "Mailing list",
:user => "Customized"

The default behavior should be equivalent [see line 97] to
([:list, :sender, :recipient] & types)[0]

Is there a reason you ended up going with a hook?

I wonder if the hook should be provided with the current message for
fuller processing.

Thanks.  Your documentation skills far exceed mine. :)

> Is there a reason you ended up going with a hook?

1. Laziness.
2. Reluctance to add to config.
3. Because I expected someone might want to be fancier, maybe getting the
message for fuller processing.

If you (or anyone) finds that useful, we can add it.  I left it out to keep the
hook simple.
