ad 1: If the MUA doesn't heed Reply-To:, it's b0rken.

ad 2: that cannot work. Reply for off-list, List reply for on-list
replies, barring that, Group Reply for on-list.

My MUA is fine. The list or alternatively your MUA, should add a
Mail-Followup-To: header, then my reply would be to the list and only to
the list.

No.

I don't care. Windows is b0rken and many Windows applications are. As is
your and David's Eudora, neither your 5.1 version nor David's 4.odds get
References: right. And you argue about RFC compliance, mentioning a RFC
that's been obsolete since April 2001? Please get serious.

Should this happen, I will immediately retreat from doing any bogofilter
work without further warning until someone assures that Reply-To munging
is switched off and will not be switched on again.

I don't care about inferior software. Indeed, Mail-Followup-To should be
set by the list if the MUA doesn't do that.
