4. Given that Reply-To: handling is covered in RFC822 and it's successors, this hasn't been a casually open issue for decades now and all MUAs have had decades to become standards compliant. This is now a grave bug by omission similar to that of Microsoft not fixing OS security issues that are now approaching a quarter century in age allowing viruses to do so much damage and spread casually on their platforms.
