 AFAIK the only case when it is _not_ like this now is when you use "reply
to sender" command, right? All the others should already prefer reply-to to
from.

 Right... But still, if we do this, there would be no command to reply only
to the sender of a mailing list message sent to such group. Maybe we could
be even smarter and only use "From" instead of "Reply-To" if the latter is
the same as "To"? This would work correctly in both cases.

 What do you think?
