    I use git-send-email these days, and it already supports this with the
    --no-chain-reply-to option. I'll consider using it next time, if at
    least one more person complains about this :)

    Yeah, you are right that things are now numbered, so it might be better
    (my old send_lots_of_email.pl script didn't number things very well, if
    at all from what I remember). But odds are, I'll
    still get complaints. But hey, it looks like people will complain
    either way :)
