Note that the mail clients used by a (large?  overwhelming?)
majority of folks will NOT do this.  Most mass-market MUA's
hide all but a select (and small) set of headers.


And, to add to Steve's comment, most of them have decided to do so in the light of overwhelming messages from customers that they don't want to see a lot of clutter. Few of those MUAs even manage to display Reply-to without being specially stimulated, so the expectation of their showing a new, and (at least initially) little-used, header is, I would think, not large.

as the document points out, there are other ways to display the noreply recipients than to display them as separate header fields. details of presentation are, as usual, left to the MUA.
