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. Joel -- f/8 and be there.
