Reply to all will reply to the Reply-To + To + Cc list in the MUAs I looked
at.
In other words, a poster can't stop a reply to all from going to the list by
setting a weird value in the Reply-To header.

So, if I post this:
From: <add1@domain.tld>
To: <add2@domain.tld>
Cc: add3@domain.tld
Reply-To: add4@domain.tld

Reply to all will send mail to:
To: add4@domain.tld
Cc: add2@domain.tld, add3@domain.tld

Sure, if you want to do that..
Make sure you also update the comment in Defaults.py then
