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.
