[ale] Regarding replies to the list...

[Geoffrey]

I'm quite amazed and dismayed at these findings.  If you save this email 
as a file, check out the headers.  No where is there a specific 
reference to my addr, as well there shouldn't, because To: is 
ale at ale.org and Reply-To: is ale at ale.org.  A mailer shouldn't use 
addresses that are not listed in these categories (To: From: Reply-To: 
CC:).  The references I see in the headers with my email address in it 
are tracking info.

This is most definitely not consistent with the rfcs.
