This keeps coming round here. Google for 'reply-to considered harmful'
or something like that for the arguments, but it basically boils down to
Reply-To is supposed (by Law, i.e. RFC) to be used to get back to the
originator of the message if their From: address can't be used for that,
and if your MUA doesn't let you easily reply to a list rather than the
originator then it's borked and you should get a new MUA!
Which has just reminded me why I was trying to migrate from Mozilla to
Sylpheed, but since I've just subscribed to 'sclugr' and unsubscribed
from 'sclug' it's a bit pointless now :-/
(Except that mozilla has decided to crash after every time I've sent a
message, so it's getting a bit of a pita.)
