New 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.

Comment:

 Any objections why this shouldn't be applied?
