wrong reply address



Hello everyone!

[For Mutt version, see below.]

I receive emails to which I have to reply, but the reply address is not
recognized by mutt. The original mails have a Reply-To field in the
headers, of the form

Reply-To: bla_bla_bla-acceptsub-89GHioPOFN=s719edEtC=0I@xxxxxxxxxx

The "From: " field has the same address. The problem: when pressing 'r',
mutt replies to the address shown in the "To: " field (r is not bound to
do that, it has the default function in index and pager).

I experimented a bit, editing the original message, and mutt replied to
the real "Reply-To" address, when I deleted everything between the first
'=' ('=' inclusive) and the '@' in the "From: " field. I wouldn't like
keep on editing those incoming messages changing the "From: " field.

I would be grateful for any ideas.

Alexandros
