- ** When \fIset\fP, address replies to the mailing list the original message came
- ** from (instead to the author only). Setting this option to ``\fIask-yes\fP'' or
- ** ``\fIask-no\fP'' will ask if you really intended to reply to the author only.
+ ** This variable controls what effect ordinary replies have on mailing list
+ ** messages: if \fIset\fP, a normal reply will be interpreted as list-reply
+ ** while if it's \fIunset\fP the reply functions work as usual.
