The Add-on "Reply to all as cc" did exactly what I want: it sends a reply for recipients as cc except for the sender. Most other mail programs are doing it so (eg. Outlook). Unfortunately, this add-on isn't anymore compatible with TB v60 and I'm not sure if there will be a new version available (former developer seems to be someone from Japan). However, this very valuable feature should be fully included within TB, eg. by adding a new option "Reply to all (cc)" beside of "Reply" and "Reply to all".

Thank you.

Chosen solution

I followed the instructions given here, in a slightly different way:

1. download the xpi installer 2. change the extension to zip, extract install.rdf and content/composeOverlay.js 3. in text editor, change maxVersion in line 38 to 60.* in install.rdf, change listitem to richlistitem in line 43 of composeOverlay.js 4. save both files and add to zip archive, change zip back to xpi and install to Tools/Add-ons/Extensions (Install add-on from file...)

Tested and working in TB 60.3.1.

Thanks a lot. It's working perfectly again.

However, I would really appreciate if someone could add this feature to the wish-list of further TB development.

To bring this to the attention of TB developers, the usual procedure is to submit a Request For Enhancement at Bugzilla:
