You missed the point. He was saying that combining the from name with the
reply-to address was good on this list because when you reply you're generally
replying to the individual. I challenged by pointing out that on other lists
you're generally replying to the individual as well. We're not talking in the
technical sense, we're talking as in "speaking" to the individual like I am
doing to you right no.

Mangling, destryoing, changing without just technical cause or reason to
something unexpected and damaging.

In the template that is fine. In the header field it is not.

No, I do not do it. TBUDL sets the reply to back to the list without
setting a name for that reply-to. TB!, incorrectly, takes the name from the
FROM field and combines it with the address from the REPLY-TO field. I had no
choice in that matter.

No, it should not combine my name with an address not associated with me.

Wrong. There are some things you don't do. Hey everybody, I want to
drive on the other side of the street. I can, different strokes for different
folks. Nevermind that it breaks how the system works!
