I couldn't find an updated link on the original host (i.e. metasystema.net) to that content, but was able to find what I believe is the original content of this page at: http://marc.merlins.org/netrants/reply-to-useful.html [1]
That page has a link to the parent/root page leading to http://marc.merlins.org/netrants/listreplyto.html which explicitly states that the link [1] is a local copy of the original link: http://www.metasystema.net/essays/reply-to.mhtml. Hence, I have no doubt that the content is accurate and replacing the link should be fine.

Again I don't have any doubt that this is a correct capture of the original content (though it might not have been the latest version). Still, IMO this seems to be a reasonable replacement for the broken link, or does anybody think otherwise? Regards, Stefan **
