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

The point of Reply-To: is that some people prefer to think of From: as
"this address originated the message", rather than as "I would like
to receive replies at this address," D.J.Bernstein's dubious authority
notwithstanding.

True, however my original advice stands. There is no point to having both From and Reply-To headers that are identical.
