does it really chop off the 'b' from saab?

It looks as tho your reply_to_hdr isn't set up to read from the From: line.
It could be that another header is supplying the info. For example, the From_
line or the Return-Path: header is notorious for being incorrect. to get
the header you want (From: in this case), you should:
set reply_to_hdr = From
The question is, what is its value when you're having this problem?
