Well, I hit the reply button to your forwarded message and the message
was addressed to you and not Marck. I have to rectify that and then delete
out your little intro on who it's from etc. and your begin and end quote
stuff to get a decent reply back to the writer of the original message.
-second option-
Redirect the message. Now when I read the message the body of the
message is not quoted and is undisturbed. I hit reply and it is addressed
to the person who wrote the message and not the redirector of the message.
The problem here is the relative anonymity of redirecting on the part of
the redirector. The only way the recipient will know how they got the
message is to examine the headers and look at the X-Sender or the
redirector may edit the reply-to headers with adding "by way of
<redirectors address>". This has been shown not to be a good idea however.
-third option-
MIME forward the message. In so doing, the recipient knows without a
doubt that the message was not originally sent to him. On opening the
attached message, he views it intact, is able to examine the intact
headers etc. When he hits reply, the appropriate addressing comes up. The
only drawback to this, which I personally don't consider to be one, is
that you have to open the message since it comes as an attachment.
The good portion of the chatter, however, was how to automagically, by
way of template macros, get the 'by way of <redirectors address>' inserted
in the reply:to headers.
