[Gnu-arch-users] Reply-To munging now considered safe and sane

[Jonathan Walther]

The GNU mailman mailing list software used by Savannah has a Reply-To:
munging option.

I enabled it for the Xouvert mailing list, and noticed something
important.  It does NOT obliterate a persons custom Reply-To: setting.
It ADDS the mailing list address to the list of addresses already in the
Reply-To: header.  NO information is lost.

Therefore, all the wailing and whining about how Reply-To: messes up
people who send email from various computers and wierd email addresses
NO LONGER APPLIES.

Tom, it's your decision, but I think an informed decision is the best
one.  Reply-To: makes the mailing list work most conveniently for the
majority of us who are used to it, but it won't harm anyone who uses the
Reply-To: header themselves.

Cheers!

Jonathan
