That confirms to the documented behavior (node "Replying"):

`reply [MSGLIST]'
`respond [MSGLIST]'
`r [MSGLIST]'
     For each message in MSGLIST, switches to compose mode and sends
     the composed message to the sender and all recipients of the
     message.

`Reply [MSGLIST]'
`Respond [MSGLIST]'
`R [MSGLIST]'
     Like `reply', except that the composed message is
     sent only to originators of the specified messages.

Anyway, I'll consider adding a variable that will force these commands to
honor Reply-To header.

Agreed, will have to fix it. Thank you!
