Standard problem with Netscape v OE.  In Netscape, if you click on reply,
it automatically chooses the Reply-To: address.  In fact, even if you try
to add to your addressbook, it will only take the Reply-To: address.

I use Pine.  When you choose Reply, it asks you whether you want to use
the Reply-To: address instead of the From: address.  I don't know much
about OE.  If I find out anything, will tell you.

This is from RFC 733:
##
     o  If the  "Reply-To"  field  exists,  then  the  reply
        should  go  ONLY  to the addresses indicated in that
        field and not to  the  addresses  indicated  in  the
        "From" field.
##
So the list is actually compliant with the RFC, but OE is not.
