If you like, you can set up a similar command:

    cmd REPLY 'set reply_to_hdr = \!* ; reply'

So, the same command you used as an example will work.  But there are
probably better things to do -- I just set up cmd's to set reply_to_hdr
to various headers depending on which message I'm replying to.

    cmd rfrom set reply_to_hdr = from 		# set to From: header
    cmd rfrm set reply_to_hdr = from_		# set to From_ line
    cmd rto set reply_to_hdr = reply-to		# set to Reply-To:
    cmd r0 unset reply_to_hdr			# use default values

Silly command names, I know.  but, they're examples...
