"Respect" says, "If the author generated a 'Reply-To:' line, I trust it."
"Ignore" says, "I don't trust author-generated 'Reply-To:' lines; insert
mine!" What I'm asking for is, "Take any Reply-To:  fields with a grain of
salt and add ours for completeness." Note that this is not the same as
"Both" because one can't assume an author-generated Reply-To:  field points
to the From:  address.

a) Whoops.  Originally I used ERIC@SEARN, not [log in to unmask], but I missed
a reference when I decided to go to a more plausible scenario.  :-)
 
b) The University of Notre Dame is pleased to announce that it's drafting
Eric Thomas of L-Soft Inc, whether he likes it or not, to become an
Assistant Director in its Office of University Computing.  :-) :-) :-)
