Miles,

In RFC 5322 on page 20 has a table with fields limits. reply-to can only be
used once. You cannot have it duplicated.

close, but more like rfc5321 - the discussion on trace fields and
implementation issues
seems to be silent on whether duplicate reply-to fields are to be deleted,
but I need to re-read in depth

 But I'd like you to know that I am not seeing any duplicated field

interesting - and I note that your message came through with only 1 reply-to

I'm seeing duplicate reply-to: in some messages, not others - and in
particular I'm seeing them in all the gitub messages that are gatewayed to
the list.

And... I just looked in the archive, at, for example,
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/couchdb-dev/201411.mbox/browser
there are definitely two reply-to headers in there (I marked the lines with
*****()

    haha :) I know what to do for your birthday: write more tests!

------------------

Looks like the list handler is not removing reply-to headers that might
have been inserted by the original sender.
