6.1. Reply-To
The Reply-To-header specifies a reply address(es) to be used for
personal replies for the poster(s) of the article when this is
different from the poster's address(es) given in the From-header. The
content syntax makes use of syntax defined in [RFC 2822], but subject
to the revised definition of local-part given in section 5.2.
header =/ Reply-To-header
Reply-To-header = "Reply-To" ":" SP Reply-To-content
Reply-To-content = address-list
In the absence of Reply-To, the reply address(es) is the address(es)
in the From-header. For this reason a Reply-To SHOULD NOT be included
if it just duplicates the From-header.
NOTE: Use of a Reply-To-header is preferable to including a
similar request in the article body, because replying agents can
take account of Reply-To automatically.
