As has been stated by a few, (hmm, I guess it has all been Fugals if I
remember correctly) there is a good reason for the change.[1] Granted, there

Once again, filter on something besides the reply to, becuase that header

List-Post, those are you're guaranteed headers, and the best part, no
munging required on the part of the list-server.
