You know, perhaps it's me, but won't that mean that the headers on the
messages that *cc'd* you will be *different* than the ones that didn't?

That might be problematic in itself for some folks, mightn't it?

So, here, do you mean "the adding of a reply-to mung to the list", or
do you mean "stripping any possible reply-to added by the writer"?

I've read it twice now, and I still can't decide which I think you mean
-- except that the list context was the latter.  I'm on Rosenthal's
side concerning the former...
