Furthermore, it does not decrease functionality. In Pine, for example, when there is a Reply-To header, Pine will ask, ``Use "Reply-To:" address instead of "From:" address?'', easily allowing one to reply only to the original author. In KMail, it is even easier. One merely right-clicks on the hyperlinked From address. If your mailer doesn't have this option, you should request it from its development team. Any mailer, whose development team refuses this simple request due to some ideological position, cannot be said to be reasonable." Well, news flash, most of the mailers on the windows platform aren't considered 'reasonable'. Reply-To munging _does_ decrease functionality in both Outlook and Outlook Express. The essay talks about procmail being a Unix centric approach; ignoring the most common MS MUAs is most definitatle doing the same. Ask the development team? Ha! Sander
