Oh, and by the way, to put this on topic again -- the more people try 
to define email-ng based on "this is how I like it" instead of 
understanding what's best for the population at large, the more we'll 
guarantee nasty political fights when two "I like it this way" types 
disagree (think about every damned "reply-to" fight you've ever seen on 
a mailing list), and the more you risk ending up with a solution that 
won't be adopted because it solves your needs, not the internet's 
needs. And assuming they are the same is a guaranteed failure.
