   Unfortunately, some mailing lists change the Reply-To field in 
   every message. I recommend sending replies to Mail-Reply-To, 
   defaulting to Reply-To, defaulting to From.

What it boils down to is that at worst “Reply-To” is an unreliable 
header (because many mailing lists mangle it), and at best it’s a 
duplicate header (because this information should already be in the 
“From” header). For mailing lists, use mutt’s support for 
Mail-Followup-To (i.e. the “lists” and “subscribe” commands), 
otherwise, don’t waste the extra bits sending a Reply-To header.
