I agree with this.  I realise this has been discussed before but maybe we
should have a vote to confirm it once and for all (or at least until
someone brings it up again. ;-).  I don't mind collecting responses for

replyto-vote at global.net.au with your response to the question "Should the
reply-to munging be switched off?".
