Ok, I've read it.  It's a bunch of bunk.  I use pine for mail.  If there's
a reply-to: header set, I get asked if I should use the reply-to: header
instead of that of the author.  I also get asked if I would like to reply
to all.

That pages drones on endlessly about "reasonable mailers".  Pine is quite
reasonable, and apparently handles Reply-to: better than most mailers.  I
also noticed your message id:

Message-ID: <[🔎] Pine.LNX.3.96.970321124547.3683A-100000@cantor.unex.es>

What do you know?  You're using pine too.  You should also be able to use
this feature.  If the list won't start doing it, I think I'll just start
using some formail action to do it myself.
