	Actually, the big trouble is when you log into a machine that
doesn't have your config and don't realize it.  I have the configuration
option set, and I still put --no-chain-reply-to on every command line,
because I've been bitten before.
	The problem with the default of --chain-reply-to is that many
folks consider the resulting email chain rude and stupid.  So the
consequence of not putting it on every command line is occasionally
looking like an idiot.
