That's ummm, interesting, that you can't see their example format
without a login.   But it looks like they want to rewrite the
Reply-To: as the original sender which seems very wrong, at least for
technical lists where most posters would never want to request a
private reply.    And doing anything 'selectively' also seems wrong if
you ever expect users to catch on to how a system works.
