That's exactly the kind of thing I was looking for from Mozilla, but got
nowhere with them. I added the parameter - we'll see what results with
the REPLY ALL

Just to be sure, doing it again, having made certain to do REPLY ALL.
Curious - how do you come up with that parameter?

BTW - Sent folder still shows it as a reply to you, not the group. I
may just move off of Thunderbird...

True that! You sometimes really have to work to figure out a glitch or
bug, er, "undocumented feature."
Maybe we should demand our money back.<g>

And as you suspected, it sent an email too.
Try this:
Go to Tools/Options/Advanced and click Config Editor.
Scroll down and see if there's a line "news.default_cc"
If there is, set it false.
If there isn't, right-click, select New Boolean, and create it.

If you sent that one "reply all" it worked...no email here.
Hopefully it also did the right thing with your "sent" folder.
The Mozilla folk aren't particularly good at documentation
(actually, they pretty much don't even try).

Still no emails from you...
> Curious - how do you come up with that parameter?
There's a more-or-less complete list of parameters here:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Mail_and_news_settings
I found it a couple of years ago trying to solve an email
problem with Thunderbird (I use it for email, not news).
So I just searched that list for something that looked
relevant.
Note that you can really screw things up with those settings,
because there's no checking in the Config Editor to guard
against contradictory settings.

I never liked Thunderbird as a news client, so switched to Agent.
Ironically, I don't like Agent as an email client, so use Thunderbird
for email.
