This is much the same as the emacs vs. anything else wars, etc.

OTOH, it's not such a lame excuse when the admin for the list finds his
bandwidth consumed by idiots whose mailboxes fill while on vacation and
the bounce messages get propagated to all users including the lamebrain
thus resulting in a lot of grief.

Regardless of your feelings, you will not be able to persuade the admins
who have made this choice.  Such discussion changes usually end with a
word from the admin - "end of discussion."

I'm just thankful that Sylpheed can usually do the right thing, although
I do find the occasional list mail that has "strange" headers such that
even Sylpheed can't sleuth out the list reply address!
