Private replies to bug mail 'broken' by Reply-To misuse

Launchpad itself

Bug Description

Because the Reply-To field incorrectly points to <bug>@bugs.launchpad.net, I find myself having to use my mail software's "followup" function for private replies, and "reply" for public replies - in both cases, complete with inappropriate attribution.

This is exactly the wrong way round.

Either Mail-Followup-To should be used for the public reply address or bug mail should be handled as a pseudo-list, complete with appropriate List-* headers.
