Reply-To list :WAS: Re: index.php files ignored

[Alexander Skwar]

Keith,

I agree that it would be better to munge the reply-to
field. But, as stated in the article, IETF has spoken and
reply-to isn't to be munged.

Consequence: Just hit Reply-To-All when replying.
Easy enough, I think ;)

But then there are of course certain *** people, who
complain that they got an unasked for CC. To those:
Read the article! It's easy enough to filter out mails
which were adressed to "you" and to the list
