This isn't a solution. There are already fixed mailers, people aren't
using them because they aren't even aware there is a problem. Debian
doesn't just fix bugs, it provides mechanisms for those bug fixes to
be send to where they are useful.

Telling people in the web pages about the problems and recommending one of
[gnus, mutt, other good mailer] *is* a solution.  Munging reply-tos is
another solution. Pick one.
