So it's okay for someone to put in a Reply-To of, say, ogre@homelandsecurity.gov and this listserver will diligently pass that through to all of us, so that anyone not carefully watching the headers might send an email there. Nice feature!
It's only OK for the originator of the message to do this, not just anybody! ... but yes, if you don't look at the recipient fields of the message you're about to send before you send it, this sort of thing might happen. Even worse, if you don't check the recipient fields, you might send a private reply to a poster to the list, rather than to the list itself ;)
