Nick Simicich <njs@scifi.squawk.com> asserts that AOL will silently
discard mail which lists multiple addresses in Reply-To:, one of which
matches From: and is an AOL address.  Later in that thread:

------- Forwarded Message

Nick gave the example,

| > Reply-to: listname@listdomain, posting-user@example.com

JCL commented,

| Having [mutiple addresses in] Reply-To is a Good ... and Damned Useful
[Thing].

It seems to me, though, that the list membership would be better served with
this form:

 Reply-To: postauthor@its.domain, listname@listserver.domain

because the MUAs with which I'm familiar make it anywhere from slightly easier
to far easier for the respondent to remove addresses from the right of the
reply's To: than from the left.
