Iʼm afraid, you overestimate us, mortals.

Just wander around mailing lists and count pretty actual programmers, that 
instead of configuring filters try to shift the burden of satisfying their 
preferences on every their correspondent by setting ‘Mail-Followup-To’ to the 
list address, and sometimes even complain if one does not notice this request 
(and in extreme cases just complain, without setting the header).

Or have messed up quotes or broken URLs in their mail, evidently because the 
very simple idea, that the damn autohardwrapping could and should be disabled, 
never came to their minds.

Or have encodings broken (he-he ;-).
