This is exactly what many don't do. And sometimes (in some underdeveloped
countries :-) you must use one particular ISP (aka monopoly), which in its
undeterminable mind decided to charge you extra for the "service" to NOT
reset your From and Reply-To headers.

E.g. I cannot easily take part on SF.net mailing lists or mail their
accounts, as they block DULs.
