-1 for go back Lots of mailist don't strip 'Reply-to', I totally don't understand why ASF does this. I believe people on mailist consciously communicate on public, it's less likely they will send private mail just because of mail having 'Reply-to'. However, lacking of 'Reply-to' burdens people much to track threads they interested in. Maybe some people has good mail client that has usable search, but don't forget there are still some people using poor outlook with nightmare search.
