Since you asked, I did.

But now, if the list munged my reply-to, how would you get back to me?

"Clicking on the author", as the 2nd link Greg posted suggested *won't*
work.  In fact, my MUA explicitly told you how to get back to me (by
setting a reply-to), but if the MLM munged that...

/me is glad that PostgreSQL doesn't "just insert NULL" when I give it an
empty string, just because "NULL is pretty much the same thing" ;-)
