Really - Is that what you think your mailer is doing ? :-)
This is fascinating - out of the last 1200 or so emails I received from
this list, only 22 had any header with the word followup in it.
Here is what it looked like:
Mail-Followup-To:
Hmm - almost no one is setting this header, but most replies are only
going to the list. Do you suppose that people replying to a list might
use a different command than the one they use to reply to an individual ?
Be conservative in what you send, and flexible in what you accept.
