The following reply was made to PR misc/2481; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Bill Fenner <fenner@parc.xerox.com> To: fenner@parc.xerox.com, joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: misc/2481: Gnats creates malformed Resent-Reply-To: headers Date: Mon, 13 Jan 1997 15:02:10 PST >I think it should also preserve the Reply-To header literally for >followups if one was present. Only because most MUA's don't grok Resent-* at all. RFC822 says that Resent-* fields, if present, are to be treated as "more recent" than the original versions. It carefully avoids specifying which fields to use when replying, so we can't claim that MUA's that skip Resent-Reply-To are violating anything, but the Resent-* fields are there so that forwarders don't have to modify existing fields... (Perhaps the easiest solution is to stop using Resent-* because of its ambiguous semantics to MUA's...) Bill
