On the other hand, Mail-Followup-To is not really a proprietary
extension. There are, or at least were, people working on writing
an RFC about it. See for example:
http://www.jp.qmail.org/mta/ietf/draft-ietf-drums-mail-followup-to-00.txt
It's nice if mailers use and support it, but things should work anyway.
Reply-To doesn't work as a substitute, it is overloaded with too many
meanings, unfortunately.
This has, of course, been discussed on debian-devel at least twice.
