how about only using multiple (Resent-)Reply-To: addresses if
formail's "-t" option is also specified?  Or if you are really worried

Not good enough.

about mail-storms and existing recipes, a new formail option.

Well, maybe you've talked me into this.

I like something like "formail -rT":
     -T   Same as -t, except even more trust is placed in the sender;
          most of formail's address-extraction and auto-reply "smarts"
          are turned off.  In particular, multiple address in a
          Reply-To: (or Resent-Reply-To:) header will be extracted
          and placed in the auto-reply header.  This option should be
          used with care, and extra measures taken to prevent
          mail-loops and mail-storms.
