As I noted before in the previous discussion, then your mailer is 
broken.  The purpose of the reply-to is to replace the To:, so any 
request to respond to the email to the original poster should go to the 
reply-to:, never to the To:

Point is, the idea is that someone is sending email from one email 
address expecting any replies to go to another.  By a mailer sending the 
email to the To: , even if it sends it to the reply-to as well, it's not 
doing what the poster expected, or, what the rfc defines...
