 Maybe I'm thinking about this the wrong way, but the behavior
 that you describe sounds logical to me: If I send a mail, and
 set a reply_to header, then that is an alternative address for
 myself.  So, if $reply_self is unset, mutt should ignore it.
 
 Mutt's current behavior lets me write a follow-up message to
 the same recipients that the original had.  That's a feature to
 me.
 
 Or am I missing something here?
