With all due respect to Professor Bernstein, his home page is not on
the standards track, and his page on reply-to is not even close to
being useful for a standard because it doesn't say when to generate
those headers, or who may generate them.  IIRC, the standards track
proposals I've seen all generalized it to news, and agree on how to
specify it for news, but not for mail.  Gnus itself claims conformance
to an ancient expired internet-draft, not Bernstein's proposal, AFAIK.

I agree that emacs-devel posters should be encouraged to consider
using MUAs that respect M-F-T, or adding it to their MUAs.  But this
is a matter of "courtesy beyond the call of duty", not of standard
conformance.
