This just means list software will have to rewrite the From header to "From: John Levine <nanog () nanog org>" and rely on the Reply-To header for anybody who wants to send a message back to the originator. Maybe this is a good thing - we can stop getting all the "sorry I'm out of the office" emails when posting to a list.The sort of programmer that writes out-of-mind software that doesn't employ the long well-known heuristics for detecting mailing lists (starting with checking Return-Path: for "owner-" and similar) will also likely disregard the Reply-To: header. This Is Not A Good Thing.
The most "sane" out-of-mind response should only be sent *if* the out-of-mind person is named explicitly as a recipient in the RFC822 header. Anything To: somelist@somehost does not qualify :) Jeff
