Gah!

I *liked* the way it was working.  That way, it was easy to reply to an
individual by deleting the trilug at trilug.org portion from the Reply-To. 
Otherwise you have to cut and paste, especially if you're using a
brain-dead mailer like evolution that won't let you reply to the From:
address.

Obviously this didn't work for everyone, since not everyone sends a
Reply-To, but it was handy when it did work.  :/
