I think the discussion always fell along the lines of "Yeah, some people ARE going to be able to use the non-RFC syntax, but that doesn't mean that the non-RFC syntax (a) is right, or (b) will work for everyone." And was there any reason you quoted, in its entirety, an entire message completely unrelated to your message. I can understand hitting "r" to reply to a message, being too lazy to want to type out the recipients (I do it myself quite often), but generally speaking its good form to remove the non-related message you're "replying to")....
