Exactly! :-) That's what I use it for, I don't want replies sent
to my From: address. Its a spam avoidance measure, replies (other than
mailing list mail which is sorted out by procmail) to chris at areti.co.uk
end up in a junk folder. Replies to my Reply-to: address get to a
mailbox which I read regularly.
I.e. I'm using Reply-To: exactly for the purpose for which it was
designed.
Anyway, as I said, I'll live with it and add some cleverness to mutt
to not set Reply-To: when I'm posting to this list.
Note that anyone who does set Reply-To: because they want to receive
mail in two places won't get two copies when I post to the list! :-)
