I agree with Chip's article too. My vote is also no.
In fact, if I recall correctly, in earlier htdig mailing list days,
either there was a Reply-To header or the original sender's address was
somehow concealed, making it a pain to reply directly to the sender,
especially annoying when the sender asks for a direct reply.
Things would go smoother on the list if users understood the value of
the list archive, and understood how to reply to all users using their
mail client.
