What kind of reasoning is that?  It's done, so your opinion doesn't count?  
The "reality of the situation" is that munging causes problems that you

Personally, I used to send email with the Reply-To header set quite a bit.  
Any munging would mean that I'd never recieve off-list replies.  Go ahead, do
