I don't understand what setting MFT is going to gain over setting RT;
they'd both be set to the same value anyway, and so would have exactly
the same problems.

As it stands now, replying to the mails as sent by the BTS causes the
mail to go to the sender's replyto and the bug itself. [Now, if you're
using reply-all, there's little that setting anything is going to do
to help.]
