I have a very simple and extremely strong reason to consider the presence of the in-treply-to header a necessity: this is a maling list, thus all replies to messages originating from it are supposed to belong to the list, at least by default. The other behaviour is surely a possibility, but without any doubt it should be considered the exception and not the norm.
So, since all traffic is supposed to converge to the list (by default) all clients should be put in the position to behave accordingly (following the protocol).
In my humble opinion the http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html "document" is 200% bullshit
I agree. See the earlier mentioned: http://marc.merlins.org/netrants/reply-to-useful.html /Jan K. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
