From one site: "Reply-To munging does not benefit the user with a reasonable mailer. People want to munge Reply-To headers to make ``reply back to the list'' easy. But it already is easy. Reasonable mail programs have two separate ``reply'' commands: one that replies directly to the author of a message, and another that replies to the author plus all of the list recipients. Even the lowlyBerkeleyMail <http://www.bsdi.com/bsdi-man/?Mail%281%29> command has had this for about a decade." Also: "It, in fact, /decreases/functionality. Reply-To munging destroys the ``reply-to-author'' capability. Munging makes this command act effectively the same as the ``reply-to-group'' function. We haven't added anything new, we've only taken away. Reply-To munging is not merely benign, it is harmful. It renders a useful mail capability inoperative." PS, this has nothing to do with SQL or QUERIES ... :) -- Michael T.
