[python-uk] The perils of reply-to

[Antonio Cavallo]

For the added "entertainment" value alone I'll leave as it is!

But on the other end emails like these could lead to people losing their 
job or worst, and only for a momentary lapse of reason (or butter fingers).

So all in weighted, I'm in for changing the reply-to field to the 
originator's email before someone starts to send some "spicy" emails by 
mistake.

Thanks,
Antonio
