The subject line says most of it. It hasn't killed the flame war, so
just put it back, and no one will get hurt.
No, but it does make it much easier for folks with intelligent
email
clients to send a direct (or off-list) response if needed and thus
avoid
public ignomy which usually results in awkward requests of
apologies
from the sender.
If anyone was going to reply saying "get rid of the reply-to for good",
it would be Andy. :) However, we've gone over this many times, and it
always comes down to the fact that most of the time (99%), people want
to reply to the list and _not_ the person. It has nothing to do with
"intelligent" email clients. That is why we still have it, because a
few people with an axe to grind want to remove the reply-to, and
everyone else wants it to stay.
Plus, Hans removed it to attempt to stop the flame war. I was pointing
out it didn't stop it, so put it back the way it was. So, let's not
start another flame war centered around the reply-to header.
