It won't always work, because the address you write to isn't always
the address that person will respond from. It also adds unnecessary
addresses to your whitelist, as this may be a one-time correspondent.

I personally think it's better to use a 'dated' Reply-To address, and
selectively add people to my whitelist who I think I'll have continuing
correspondence with.

It's largely a matter of personal preference I suppose.

Wow, I didn't even realize that would work.  Looking at the code, I
see now how it would, but I think this was an accident.  :-)

I'd probably change this to the following:

to * tag 
   envelope dated=10d reply-to dated from bare=append

This insures the recipient will never have to confirm when they reply,
even when they respond from a different address than that to which you
sent.
