Sascha,
You're right that explicitly setting the Reply-to: header causes
different behaviors in different mailers.
Thunderbird behaves as you noted, and I can replicate it myself. Eudora
(5.1 in my case) puts foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx in both To: and cc: if
Reply-to-All and, of course, in the To: line if just Reply. And Outlook
behaves as I described originally.
And I won't even attempt to see how the myriad web mailers handle the
Reply-To: header!
An aside: People can and do debate religously about whether setting the
Reply-to: header is good for human civilization or not
(http://www.google.com/search?q=munging+reply-to) but since this is a
discussion-style list, I thought an explicit Reply-to: is appropriate.
