No no no no no. Please don't let this header munging extend to any mailing list around here. There are good reasons why header munging (i.e. the changing of the Reply-To) field is discouraged everywhere around. For example: 1. there are instances when I really want to answer only the sender, not to the list; 2. in all other cases I may want to write to both the sender and the list (because the list server might be down or might delay my response); 3. Some senders may want to use the Reply-To field to set an actually different email address to send a response to; that information is irrevocably lost. All three are almost impossible once the Reply-To field has been changed. (Try it on the -patches list!) No no no no. Please don't mess with the Reply-To field. I already hate it from the two times when I replied to the -patches list recently, where I really only wanted to write to the sender (#1 above). Really don't do this. This is a problem of social convention, and if the convention is not (yet) known then there simply isn't a technical solution to the social question.
