Like it says, though, all mailers have both a Reply and a Reply To
All button. Without rewriting the Reply-To header, both buttons
do what they say, and I can choose whether I want to send a
private reply or a public reply with ease. If the list rewrites
the header, both buttons do exactly the same thing and I've lost
the option to send a private reply (without tweaking the headers
manually). Thereby removing functionality, which is a bad thing.
