Guys --
Can we please drop this? It's been beaten into the ground. I don't think the mailman development crew has shown itself well here, either, especially Brad, who seems to be grumpy beyond the needs of the discussion for some reason. I don't think we as a team managing an open source project look good right now, it wasn't handled particularly professionally, IMHO.
and for the record, I tend to disagree with Brad -- I definitely see it as useful to be able to strip out headers that cause systems to auto-reply with a return receipt. but since those headers aren't really standardized, it's not as simply as flipping a switch. what I might do, stepping back a couple of steps and looking at it somewhat objectively, is to consider an option that simply strips all non-RFC headers from a message.
But I'm rather surprised to see us blowing off someone's privacy concerns here in the heat of whatever grumpiness people brought to the discussion the last couple of days, and especially doing it as members of the Mailman team the way we did. All of the points made are relevant, the way they were made was, well, IMHO less than optimal.
so maybe we should all shut up and let this cool off. Maybe reconsider the idea once the emotion's drained a bit. But right now, we're not doing anyone any good on anything.
