in thread Problems getting e-mails from Perlmonks (UPDATE: FIXED)

The From: says noreply@, because you can't reply to that address.

The Reply-To: is a different address and domain, because you cannot send mail with From at a Google property without being Google (or whitelisted by them).

    If I see
    • From: noreply@
    I won't even think of replying.

    And the

    • Reply-To:
    isn't displayed by default by my mailclient.

      I won't even think of replying.

      Well call me uncommunicative but I wouldn't even think of replying to an automated password reminder, whatever the address. What on earth would you have to say to the passwordbot?

        That's why it's weird to me and would uptick my spam-detector heuristic.

        IMHO the mail-text should either

        • reflect that replies are possible
        • or replies should go to bin.

      what you do based on what you see has nothing to do with how your mail client decides what to hide from you.
