This has the unfortunate side effect of failing to work in one situation: where a list doesn't munge addresses and a poster has set Reply-To on a message to indicate where responses should go (say, for an OT discussion). All the more reason why reply-to munging is harmful in the first place. But in a balance of evils, it's acceptable. Just pointing out the possible pitfall. Peace. -- Karsten M.
