Reply-To is bad. http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html Summary: Many people want to munge Reply-To headers. They believe it makes reply-to-list easier, and it encourages more list traffic. It really does neither, and is a very poor idea. Reply-To munging suffers from the following problems: * It violates the principle of minimal munging. * It provides no benefit to the user of a reasonable mailer. * It limits a subscriber's freedom to choose how he or she will direct a response. * It actually reduces functionality for the user of a reasonable mailer. * It removes important information, which can make it impossible to get back to the message sender. * It penalizes the person with a reasonable mailer in order to coddle those running brain-dead software. * It violates the principle of least work because complicates the procedure for replying to messages. * It violates the principle of least surprise because it changes the way a mailer works. * It violates the principle of least damage, and it encourages a failure mode that can be extremely embarrassing -- or worse. * Your subscribers don't want you to do it. Or, at least the ones who have bothered to read the docs for their mailer don't want you to do it.
