Description
This is something we recently fixed with Mailman by not modifying the From and thus allowing recipients to check the authenticity of the email (DKIM).
Instead the Discourse emails are back to hiding the real sender email. See https://matrix.to/#/!bzcNHWCfdsmgNjQSgV:osgeo.org/$5UptySHfM-SkqZdAb-uAKfYW2-yINP5uuiMV4ihVT7M?via=osgeo.org&via=matrix.org&via=dend.ro

I think every MUA honours a Reply-To header, we don't need to abuse RFC822 to prevent what you are describing. REF: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc822

I'm not sure if much can be done about this, but will investigate. I don't find this to be totally a bad thing. Cause I hate it for example when someone starts a conversation on a mailing list, and then somehow I'm the only one being sent the email and it falls off the mailing list. Most of the time it's not intentional, they just forgot to do reply all or something. That kind of stuff has been happening more often recently. I'd much prefer mailing list topics stay on the mailing list/category.
