Re: formail reply headers

Always use 'formail -rt' and never 'formail -r'. Because such precedence 
(Sender over From) is an important violation of RFC 822. There is one 
canonical order, described in the RFC and nothing else should be used, 
like fuzzy ranking or, worse, reordering. This is a serious problem with 
formail.

The proper order is:

Reply-To
  else
From
  else
Sender
  else
<error>

And, how would you deal with resent mail??  Ie: Resent-Reply-To,
Resent-From, and Resent-Sender?
