A quick look at the code suggests this is falling victim to the
"reply-to munging" detection code, which considers a reply-to field
redudant if it duplicates one of the other fields. From the source
/* Some mailing lists munge the Reply-To header despite it being A Bad
* Thing, see http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html
*
* The munging is easy to detect, because it results in a
* redundant reply-to header, (with an address that already exists
* in either To or Cc). So in this case, we ignore the Reply-To
* field and use the From header. This ensures the original sender
* will get the reply even if not subscribed to the list. Note
* that the address in the Reply-To header will always appear in
* the reply.
