Hey guys, lighten up! And read what he said. Those of us forced to use poorly designed mailers might find it easier to have both addresses in the Reply-To field. Personally, I disagree, but I will do so politely. (And I can speak with authority about poorly designed mailers. I am forced not only to use Outlook, but some bright person disabled "Reply All" so that in my office we _have_ to cut and paste to carry out a group conversation.)
Yes, people should think about who they are sending to. Yes, education might help, but awareness helps more. But a good mail client would make it easier. BTW, netiquette never was what it used to be (or at least it hasn't been since 1979). - Kai.
