Subject: notmuch reply: Rename the mailing_list_munged_reply_to function
X-Git-Tag: 0.1~118
X-Git-Url: https://git.notmuchmail.org/git?p=notmuch;a=commitdiff_plain;h=d111c720bad53f98edba958aa605e857036a2bc8;ds=sidebyside

notmuch reply: Rename the mailing_list_munged_reply_to function

This function detects whether the address in the Reply-To header
already appears in either To or Cc. So give it a name that reflects
what it does (reply_to_header_is_redundant) rather than the old name
which described one possible use of the function, (as a simple
heuristic for detecting whether a mailing list had applied reply-to
munging).
