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.
