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?
