Or how about
http://www.metasystema.org/essays/reply-to-useful.mhtml
for a dissenting view. Of course Mail-Followup-To is completely
non-standard, but even if it were, having the mailing list munge it in
isn't recommended:
http://cr.yp.to/proto/replyto.html
Bottom line (IMHO), this is just something about email that is and
will forever remain broken. Given that, it was voted a long while
back to make Reply-To for checkins point to python-dev so until
there's a hue and cry to change it back, I'll leave it as is. And
yeah, it bites me sometimes too!
