Could you point me to the RFC which does say so? As long as I worked on my
own MUA until a few years ago, such Mail-Reply-To: header was AFAIK neither
defined nor mentioned in any of the relevant RFCs.

Outlook (Express) does" would be.

The RFC standards should take precedence over the proprietary behaviour of
which MUA ever.

It's consistent that a) the Reply-To: header is completely ignored in all
of these scenarios, b) that the recipient is sometimes taken from the To:
header and sometimes from the X-Original-To: header (or a mix of them), and
c) that the "Reply all" button does not reply to all?

Hmmm... I'd rather call that confusing. ;-) At least it DID indeed confuse
me.

After a quick look it appears to me that this header is supposed to fix
mailing list flaws/bugs. These should be fixed at the source (i.e. the
mailing list), not by the MUA. Furthermore, the Reply-To: header in question
DOES also contain the mailing list address, so what exactly needs to be
fixed then?
