Munging is not associated with open source, necessarily. It all depends
upon which side of the religious issue (as represented by the above URL,
the first I got with the google search string "reply-to munging
considered harmful") the list administrator is on.
In a nutshell, reply-to munging excludes the use of the reply-to header
by an individual, because if used, the list will overwrite it. If the
capability happeens to be needed, it's lost irremediably.
