Aaah.  Let's not plunge into a spiral of mis-features to correct other 
mis-features!

You probably wouldn't even think of such a thing if it weren't for the 
negative side effects of reply-to munging by mailing list managers.

I think the best thing is to 1. fight the good fight against reply-to munging 
and 2. use "reply all" when in doubt and fix the to: line by hand.

Next up, vi vs. Emacs and Coke vs. Pepsi!
