This list displays (not "full headers"):

Some yahoos would do it as:

        <cctalk at classiccmp.org>

Notice, that they also munge the From:, but they include the author's 
email address buried within the munged From:.

It is not the "correct" From: and Reply-to:,
but, apparently some "modern" systems will not tolerate it done 
"correctly".
Given that it is NOT going to be done "correctly", which among us are 
capable of successfully working around it?

This discussion is a little like a pedantic grammar argument.
