Sometimes - it's not always clear when - replying to an email from a BrickLink
user, has the email address blservice@bricklink.com in the addressee's field.
Sometimes the actual user's email address.

It's confusing, but until a thorough solution for messaging is implemented,
I would like the "blservice" is changed to "noreply" so it's
at lease a more visual give-away the email will not reach the user.

Much more, some webmails or clients tell you you're probably doing wrong
when trying to send to a noreply@ address, ex. there's a message box displayed
in Thunderbird.

Agreed! However, I would go further and change it to NO-REPLY@bricklink.com because
this is one time where it's good to shout.

No no - noreply@ is a common filter for some apps (like Thunderbird) I'm
not sure no-reply (lower or upper) would be detected the same

The filters should work with uppercase because e-mail addresses are case insensitive.

BL already uses noreply@… for invoices.  It would be weird to use both noreply
and no-reply.

Just looked in my e-mails:
— some use noreply, others no-reply,
— my bank is using both noreply and no-reply,
— LEGO uses order-acknowledged, Noreply, and no-reply-billing03 (I guess the
number may vary).

Anyway, BL can also simply use
  "NO REPLY" {noreply@bricklink.com}
or
"BrickLink NO REPLY" {noreply@bricklink.com}
(with chevrons instead of curly brackets).

That is, use the format that allows a “displayed name” added in front of the
e-mail address (which is then enclosed in chevrons).

Well, this is far beyond my knowledge base. How about: THIS-EMAIL-IS-GOING-NOWHERE@...
? That might get people's attention!

Why not instead, put the e-mail address of the message sender as the "Reply-To"
field?

Then, it's another problem, as some webmails/clients don't accept to
reply to the reply-to address - like Thunderbird, I participated to a ticket
about this

No Reply-To.

Maybe it doesn't happen when it's a message regarding an order? Although
I'm seeing it even there. But my messages are older.
