Hi,

I didn't notice the Reply-To absence because Thunderbird offers by 
default the "Reply To List" option, but it's true that I receive 
directly emails from time to time, which I don't want (and breaks my 
filters).

So from now on, the Reply-To field is set to the list, _without_ the 
 From and Sender fields being stripped though, i.e. not hiding this 
information as feared by some.

KR, Eric
