Hmm.  Looking at the format of this message as it came back to me,
I can see that the change to the Reply-To for checkins breaks my email
filtering.  Previously I could catch replies to my checkins by looking
for my committer id in the 'To' field, and I would put those in a special
folder, and so I would see right away that I had a message.  Now they
just wind up in the general python-dev and python-checkins folders,
which I do not necessarily read every day.  So this change will actually
slow down my noticing replies.

I can't see any reliable identifying characteristic of the message
which I could use to move it into the 'alert' folder.  Checking the
message body for 'r.david.murray <python-checkins at python-org>' will work most of
the time, if people's email clients follow the normal quoting conventions
and the reply header is left in.  But it isn't going to be 100% reliable.

Would it be possible to include the committer id in the 'realname'
field on the To address? (Or on the CC address).
