Specifically:

And then there's this rebuttal:
http://www.metasystema.org/essays/reply-to-useful.mhtml

Reading the latter document, we find it's somewhat outdated and has lost
its biggest point: Now that RFC-822 has been obsoleted and superseded by
RFC-2822, the "rebuttal" is no longer "sanctioned" by RFC-822. RFC-2822
does not contain the paragraph that is attributed to RFC-822.

Also, the paragraph about dismounting the principle of least surprise,
won't hold.

Finally, a commonly accepted solution, Mail-Followup-To:
http://cr.yp.to/proto/replyto.html

I'd vote for this one, too.
