First (generic) reason is that any header should be settable for a
particular message. Why would you allow modifying From but not Reply-To?

Next, more specific, reason. Suppose I send to all the people working in
the company an announce that the project I'm working on reaches the 1.0
stage. I'd further like that comments be directed to
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, an alias. The Reply-To header is, in my
opinion, the right way to do it.

Whenever I wanted to use Reply-To, it was only for one shot. Not
something I'd like to permanently link to a folder.

I agree that reply-to munging is a bad attitude for mailing-lists, but
not at all in other cases.
