OTOH you _are_ breaking the reply / reply-all convention that most
people use and (almost) all MUAs handle correctly.

This means that I have a practical way to address you in private by
just hitting 'reply'. Most mailing-list-adept users will do that to
send you a private reply. It's pretty ackward that you are seeding the
reply-to with bogus addresses. I'd guess it'd bother me less if you
set the reply-to to /dev/null.

If you'd rather not receive duplicates, you can probably filter out
for duplicates in by message-id at your MUA/procmail.

Oh, well. And I thought reply-to flamewars were exclusive to
debian-devel. They are silly enough there.

cheers.
