Recently google-groups added an additional post mechanism to the  
List-Post field in mails from their lists:

List-Post:  <http://groups.google.com/group/some-group/post?hl=>,  
<mailto:some-group at googlegroups.com>

vs. the earlier one:

List-Post:  <mailto:some-group at googlegroups.com>

This is completely valid by RFC.

However, IMP now displays only the first token (the url) when choosing  
to display the List-Headers, as well if we choose to reply to the the  
list (Reply -> To List) IMP chooses the url as recipient.

Regarding RFC 2369 [1] this header is correct but it is up to the MUA  
to choose the option he can use, which would be the mailto: option in  
IMP's case.

Hence IMP should:

- Display all Tokens in the List Header Overview
- Prefer the mailto Token over any url token
