Reply-To: headers are mapped into the inReplyTo Message Router and/or X.400
field. This is in accordance with RFC1327. The information is therefore
present; I don't know whether ALL-IN-1 IOS can get at it or not. MailWorks
definitely can; use REPLY/LIST in the character cell client. It currently isn't
possible to specify that /LIST is the default in MailWorks; I hope this is
added to a future release.

Proper processing of Reply-To: is an essential element of proper UA behavior
behavior. If ALL-IN-1 IOS doesn't do this by default it should be possible to
customize it do to it.

I hope you can configure this in ALL-IN-1 IOS. We do not plan to add an option
to map Reply-To: into MR FROM information; this would be a flagrant violation
of RFC1327.
