 Ouch.  This is an *old* can of worms, folks :)  Also, just how many clients do
 you think obey M-F-T?  Even pine doesnt obey it.  Mutt (and gnus) do.  I doubt
 if _anything_ in the 'doze world respects anything other than a reply-to
 header.
 
 Also, MFT is a kludge - a carryover from the Followup-To: used in netnews.
 Try the gnus.org archive (several threads on why this is a good / bad idea
 there, from three years back).
 
 No, I wasn't on that list then - this question cropped up on mutt-users today
 (again) and I was doing a google search.
