Baloney.  Setting "Reply-To" to an address for which you don't have
permission *is* wrong and illegal in those places where forging headers has
been outlawed.  And your supporting argument, that the "From" header is
visible, is simply untrue for many, many mailers.

When you did that, you tricked people into replying to an address *you*
intended, not them.
