"Just switch email programs" isn't really an option for many, especially 
if they are working with their corporate email infrastructure.

My personal experience is Reply-to munging is important to keep the 
communication on list. Defaults matter. And changing 1 header on 1 
server, instead of making 3816 people (the active count on openstack 
group in launchpad) change their email client, seems the polite thing to 
do. :)

That being said, I realize we're entering mostly a land of religion 
here. So I'll just end with a "long live emacs!" to try to get us to the 
godwin rule as fast as possible.
