I rely on getting a copy to my reply or reply-to (set to me) to be able to reply to mails send to me, since it easy for me to overread things on the lists. This clearly isn't a option for me. Your the first person i came a cross that does this. This would indeed work if one don't wants to get an reply to his from adress. My conclusion is that people that doesn't want a reply to them self sould use the reply field like you suggested.
