Possibly you want to fix your mailer to appreciate `Reply-to' headers.

I don't know what others think, but I certainly do not see it as a
goal of the GNU system to replace any other free operating system,
whether that is its own Linux-based variant or some BSD.  Not having
more than one approach to solve the same problem is often a bad idea.
What else would have been the reason why the FSF started _both_
Harmony and GNOME back then?

Obviously, the Hurd should be portable, but I have never seen anyone
claim that it is our goal to produce the most portable system that can
ever exist.
