Hi Phil,

Your mail suffers the exact same problem.  My address is nowhere to be
seen on the To/Cc:  I only happened to see it since I told mutt to
show me all archived poky/oe mails with u-boot in the subject.
Otherwise your message would have been lost in the noise, perhaps seen
next week when I return from OOO.

And when I hit reply, it won't go to you unless I tell mutt to ignore
the broken Reply-To line.  It is the line right at the bottom:

Note the absence of the To/Cc: with my name?  How are people to sort the
"needs attention from me now" mails from the general mailing list traffic?

The hijack effect of "Reply-To:" is evil and should be removed.  It
isn't used on any of the other dozen devel mailing lists I'm on.

Thanks,
Paul.
