So fix your MUA.  If you choose to use an MUA lacking that feature, then
that's your choice.  Nobody is forcing you to do more work.  On the other
hand, if Reply-To is mangled, then people wishing to make private replies
*are* forced to do more work.

I think that:

Message-ID: <AANLkTik601Tyo9BM793mtju73Vekvk6BZ7RPo+8dt...@REDACTED>

is a fairly good demonstration of why they're important.

(If that msgid is mangled, as I suspect it is, then blame Google's
craptastic mangling algorithm, combined with "ez"mlm's inability to provide
a raw view of a mail message)
