[ale] ALE reply-to changes needed??

Ok. We can disagree on that.
The difference between you and I is that I have software that does everything 
I want it to do - and yours clings to some sort of specification or ruleset 
which is why you had to bring the problem to the list in the first place.

                  I will choose preferred usability every time.

By the way, let's check the polls . . . . .
17 to 7 . . . . I guess the majority of the members on the ALE list are also 
"broken" ;) When are we going to accept the results and drop the issue?
