I too have seen people fill in the Reply-To in the MUA setup screen.  - 
However I don't see the problem with it.

Recipients that hit reply (to a message that has not been modified) will 
go back to the author, via the From: or Reply-To:, particularly if the 
From: and Reply-To: are the same email address.

So I'm curious how the Reply-To: being set to the same thing as the 
From: causes any problems here.

It seems like you are describing two quite distinct things, 1) how the 
MUA is configured, and 2) where the replies to incoming messages go back 
out to.  IMHO the way the From: / Reply-To: are configured doesn't 
matter or impact where replies to incoming messages go.

What am I missing?
