Reply-To: field again !!! (was Re: [WBEL-devel] patchs for missing rpms)

[donavan nelson]

Here is the header from the message I replied to Jimmy with:

I've hidden the private host and user information. as well as his domain to
prevent spam bots. from getting him.  I'm sure jimmy would confirm this.

There are three instances of where his internal name (abc@fred.wilma.org)
appear in the headers.  I'm not certain which message from Jimmy you are
looking at.

On my todo list.  I'm sure everything in there is optional for MUA's without
even looking at it (unless it superceeds the old RFC).

See above.  I found it, so did Reply-All in my MUA.  Nor do I believe it is
doing anything "wrong"
 
My MUA doesn't support Post-List either.

it's a matter of convience for those of us with basic MUA's, and yours is a
typical example, you use "WhiteBox EL <whitebox-devel@beau.org>" for the list,
the stuff outside the <>'s is trash, everyone's is slightly different (mine
included), this is too much so filter through, combined with the OP name and <>'s.

(had the wrong word, s/How/What/)

I was currious to see what was in the header of my message (how much internal
stuff was directly in the headers).  There shouldn't be any, but just to be
sure I've send an extra of this email to a remote destination.  FYI, this is
coming from donavan@shzaam.4wx.net (my mail server and webmail server).
