[kdepim-users] Thread & Replyto conflicts

[Art Alexion]

Ingo,

Such an option would be a waste of your time because people who use  
reply as an addressing tool wouldn't understand the option anyway.

Using an address book is not rocket science.

I normally support software that is forgiving of deviation from  
standards so as to allow readers to see the non-standard post or web  
page, but I don't support software that enables users to create non- 
standards compliant stuff.
