Add to that a real life example ... on a list I am on. A couple of days
back.
Situation: Flamewar going on full swing between two people.
One of the parties getting flamed has a reply-to header set to the list
(which does not set reply-to normally ... so replies go to the from
address unless you edit the to: header, or cc the list).
Another guy wants to reply offlist to the person with the reply-to
header, saying "hey, dont mind that other guy, he's just an a**hole",
etc etc. He just hit reply. Guess where the [supposedly offlist]
reply ended up? :)
