FWIW, this is very frequently nothing to do with the software you're
using, and everything to do with how the mailing list is set up. I'm on
a number of mailing lists...Three are set up to generate a "Reply-To"
header that points back to the submission address for the list. The
rest aren't, though they could be. So, in Yarn, for those three, when I
hit R to reply, I get a choice of addresses, one of which is that
Reply-To address. With the others, I get a choice of the poster of the
message, or all recipients.

No? I've been able to. You just have to monkey around with your config
file, and point it to the right place.

Yes, you can also use the clipboard, though not unless you use the
toolbar on your Yarn box, and the mouse.
>And, I cannot use standard Windows editting functions.
Not sure what you're getting at here.

Can't really get around this very easily if you're going to be offline.
Otherwise, you might as well just be online.

Probably not.
