Or, instead of trying to beat up everyone because their mail user agent
(MUA) doesn't follow your favourite mail header you could instead follow
the standard (RFC2822) and set your 'Reply-To:' to the appropriate address
list.

Also, keep in mind that both Reply-To and (the pointless) Mail-Follow-Up
header convey preferences of the author.  MUAs must be free to override
them.

PS: While applaud you decision to quote URI in <>'s; could you at least
follow the recommendations from RFC1738 Appendix A.
