This discussion invariably turns up on most open source mailing lists
from time to time. People never agree on the "best" setting. Asking
for this reply-to setting to be changed is merely shifting the pain
away from one set of users (which includes you) onto other set of
users (which includes me). There's no net gain here. Just shifting
the pain.  As such IMHO we should leave it as it is.
