Nail meets hammer.  thwack/

If I explicitly set the Reply-To: in a message posted to the list then
the software is munging it to set it to reply to the list.  Therefore,
the current behaviour is wrong, even according to the "Munging Reply-To
considered harmful" arguments (which we don't necessarily accept as
valid).

 there is only one right way, and that's to give people the choice.
 
 that's what i do, and in my experience the majority prefer to have their
 reply-to's munged on discussive lists such as this one.

I wonder whether that's really true, or if it's simply that
most people don't bother to change from the default because
they're not that interested?

If the default was an unmunged (void) and (void-munged) was
also available for the munging fanatics, which would be the
majority then?

Don't know, but wondering...
