Here we go again, this one comes up about once a year :-) |

It's the tired old |

"Reply-To munging considered harmful - the opposing view" |

debate. Canek replied to sender with cc: to the list whereas list mails |
| 33 |
have Reply-To set to the list, so he's in the latter category. |
| 34 |
Personally I prefer the former, but there's no easy solution and no |
| 35 |
sane default either (both views have equal pros and cons IMHO) |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
The solution I recommend to folks is to bypass the entire problem |
| 38 |
altogether as senders are free to address their mails however they like |
| 39 |
and resist being told how to do it different to suit someone else |
| 40 |
(especially 3rd parties) |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
I filter by List-* header, which is rather reliable. As opposed to |
| 43 |
using To: and From: and all those other unreliable things. |
