One of the projects on my pile is a web page that documents how to properly
use the reply-to-sender and reply-to-all functions of the many mailers out
there.  The goal is to give listadmins a single place they can send their
users when those users complain that lists that don't have Reply-To: set back
to the list "don't work".  If anyone wants to contribute to the page, just
email me.

(For what it's worth, I'm also a convert to the "Reply-To: Considered Harmful"
school of thinking.  I don't think it's unreasonable to expect people to learn
how to use the tools they've been given.)
