This is the old "header munging" argument that always comes up on lists,
which can be summarized as:
Camp 1:
1) Header munging is bad, since it can override user-specified behavior
2) What if somebody replies with naked pictures and accidentally posts
to the list because of the reply-to header OMG!?!?
Camp 2:
1) Header munging is good, because it is a mailing list, fer christ's
sake.
2) Not munging the headers is a PITA.
So, whatever. I'm fine with munging the headers, but I don't really
care, and some people get really emotional about the issue.
