>Description:
There seems to be a problem with how mutt handles $reply_to and
$reply_self. In particular, it seems to behave badly replying to
some combinations of e-mails which are sent by oneself, and contain a
Reply-to header.
This is a bit complicated, as the interactions of these two variables
forms a 3-dimensional decision matrix. I apologize for the complexity
of this bug report, but there's no way around it; it's a complex
issue.
The essential problem is that when $reply_to is set (and there is a
Reply-to header), but $reply_self is unset, Mutt does the wrong thing.
It ignores the Reply-to header completely, whether the user is
REPLYing or GROUPREPLYing. This apparently is true of all versions of
Mutt including and prior to the current CVS.
