Yeah - the hooks are definitely there for the option list-wide so I guess
it would be just a matter of allowing the user to change their
preferences.

As the person who pays for HUMBUG's bandwidth[1], I'm not sure I can agree
with you there ;-) But shouldn't it be possible to send out 'two' logical
messages one for all the Reply-To munged people and one for Greg and
myself? I'm presuming that there is some sort of 'batching' going on to
ensure that identical messages to different users at the same domain are
sent as one message with multiple receipients. I don't really know.

Cheers,
