Now THAT sounds like the most easily accomplished path forward.  And
instead of just munging Reply-To: for those that choose it, it can also
move any current Reply-To: to X-Personal-Reply-To: or something so it
doesn't get lost.  Color me convinced!  This scheme wins, because it can
be done piece by piece without pain agony or fuss.
