I'm not really sure; maybe I did indeed accidently hit that "reply" 
button a few times recently instead of the "smart reply" one, even 
though in principle I've already been aware of the thing for quite a 
while, and when I tried to reply to a random posting in povray.test 
something else went wrong.

Anyway, I've already kicked out that useless(*) reply-by-email button by 
now.

(*Yes, definitely useless, given that the same functionality can be 
found via the "smart reply" button's dropdown.)
