The author is a typical clever person who assumes that everybody should migrate to a good mailer. It's too different from the reality. > My webmail honors the "reply to all" button, but Evolution honors > "reply-to", and it's quite possible that Evolution is more standard > compliant. Not really. No RFC defines what a mail user agent _must_ do with "reply to all".

Then it's a pretty good deal :-) My policy is that Reply-To should be set to a mailing list, if it is a member-only list, where there is no reason to send a reply to individuals. I do this, because I frequently observe that people respond to from addresses when Reply-To is not set. From my point of view, the harm is bigger when not set.
