Hear! Hear!

The solution to your problem is something I have been arguing
for for a long time, but not yet got enough people convinced
of. There should be two different "reply-to" fields, with different
names, one to serve as a replacement for the originator only, and
one to serve as a replacement for all recipients.

Thus, if your mail system, as many of them have, has two commands
to write replies, one for replies only to the originator, and one
for replies to all recipients, then the first command should use
the value from one of the two "reply-to" fields, and the
other should use the value from the other kind of "reply-to" field.
