please don't do that, they're doing the right thing as it is.

no, we are not :)

I would just add :
http://woozle.org/~neale/papers/reply-to-still-harmful.html

which references both URL, includes RFC updates since year 2000, and
resolves the issue (in the favor of NOT munging reply-to headers :)

P.S. anyway, it's not such a bad thing to receive duplicate praises... :-)
     It happens all too rarely anyway, and you Julien should know it's well
     deserved, even if sometimes it seems everybody is taking it for granted. 
     So thanks again for all the effort you put in !
