Re: Reply to header

Shawn,

> Sorry, but "change the list to work better with Outlook and Outlook

Dude, are you seriously accusing me of using *Outlook*???  When I said 
we'd eventually get around to bashing each other, I had no idea it'd get 
_that_ vicious ...

Thunderbird 0.8, Gentoo Linux 2.6.8.

I have yet to see any evidence that adding the reply-to headers would 
cause behaviour that is worse with _anything_ else, much less 
_everything_ else.  Please refer to Phil's quite excellent link provided 
earlier (where, I note, the term "elitist" is not really original to me 
(not that I imagined that it was)).  (If you prefer a more technical 
term to describe your argument, we could use "relativist fallacy".)

I really was planning not to respond further--I even let David's 
grumpy-ass reply slide completely(*)--but ... Outlook?? <shaking head>

(*) If I _were_ going to reply to David, I probably would merely point 
that, by his own logic, his objection "I get enough spam already" is 
moot, since my MUA automatically removes spam quite nicely.
