Help with init file

After reading the FAQ and the FM, I can't seem to get the mail-header
or news-header to work correctly.  I have the following two statements
in my init file (full init file included at end of post) - 

set mail-header Reply-To: ellis@rtsg.mot.com
set news-header Reply-To: ellis@rtsg.mot.com

When I invoke nn and use the :set to see what is set, I get the following

Variable settings
* also-subgroups            = on
* append-signature-mail     = on
* append-signature-post     = off
* auto-select-subject       = on
* collapse-subject          = -1
* confirm-append            = on
* confirm-auto-quit         = on
* date                      = on
* expert                    = on
* folder                    = "/home/loden/ellis/News"
* header-lines              = "NFRW=SD"
* include-art-id            = on
* include-mark-blank-lines  = on
* mail-format               = on
> mail-header               = "NULL"
* mail-script               = "/home/loden/ellis/.nn/aux"
* new-group-action          = 4
> news-header               = "NULL"
* news-script               = "/home/loden/ellis/.nn/aux"
* orig-to-include-mask      = 1
* printer                   = "lpr -Plab"
* query-signature           = off
* save-counter              = ".%02d"
* sort                      = on
* sort-mode                 = 1
* time                      = on
* wrap-header-margin        = -1


Question 1 - Why are the header variables NULL?
Question 2 - Why are they listed as local (>) variables?
Question 3 - How can I fix this?

Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks.
