IMO as an anti-Reply-to munger, I think this is one situation where
Reply-To hacking is perfectly legit.  You don't want discussions on
-checkins, you want them on the discuss mailing list (in this case
spambayes-dev).  MM2.1 can be configured to retain any existing Reply-To
fields so people who have to set this to worm around their broken mail
systems can still be coddled.

python-devers and spambayes-devers, you vant I should do dis?
