Those of us who disagree not "technology challenged". I myself have been

difference of opinion.

None of us are in any position to tell other people how to read their mail.
There are many good reasons why most people use email software for email.

Just because there are ways around it, is still no reason to keep it. The
"Reply To:" function is designed to override Reply and Reply-To-All
functions in email clients, forcing all replies to that address. Clearly,
that is not what this list wants, so we shouldn't use that field.
