I'm talking about the cases where you have neither of `From:',
`Sender:' and `Reply-To:', you only have the `From ' line to go on.
Then surely using the address given in the `From ' line can't be worse
than using `' (the empty string) as reply address?
On mailinglists, the "From " line is mostly a pointer to the owner of
the mailinglist. I don't think that this persons wants to recieve
mails because something is broken on the actual senders side. I know I
wouldn't, I know I would hate it, I know I would track down the dimwit
who coded the feature and force him to learn texinfo.
