[meta: mailing list admin stuff]


Hi Geon,

Yes, we've considered this before.  It's actually not that difficult to
enable this from the mailing list admin interface, so if we ever find the
need to do this, I'll be happy to.

However, there are significant downsides to enabling Reply-to munging:

I agree with most of those reasons, and so I won't enable Reply-to munging
unless there's a real overriding reason that trumps the ones listed on
that page.


Hope that makes sense!
