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.
