RE: [dmarc-ietf] Identification of an email author (was - Re: IETF Mailing Lists and DMARC)

If you hit “Reply-All”, at least when I use Gmail, it includes both the From: 
and the Reply-To using the scheme below (I tested it out just now). In Outlook 
desktop I have to also copy/paste the From: address (mailing list). It’s not 
ideal in Outlook desktop, but I can live with it.

In this email discussion, I hit Reply-All and includes Ted on the To:, and 
dmarc(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org<mailto:dmarc(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org> and 
ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org<mailto:ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org> on the cc.

And if there were something like this in other headers that retains the

<dmarc-bounces(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org<mailto:dmarc-bounces(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org>>


I don’t think this is quite right—I think the Reply-To needs to include all of 
the senders or else every reply will be an off-list reply (would cut down on 
noise, admittedly).   Otherwise this would be a great solution.   But because 
of the way it interacts with MUAs, I do not think it would work in a way that 
doesn’t violate the principle of least surprise.
