Thanks for searching for this. I have found it also, but I’m afraid that
the features mentioned at
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Help_Documentation:Mail-Followup-To_and_Mail-Reply-To#Configure_Thunderbird
aren’t available in Thunderbird 24.1.

But Claws Mail isn’t strictly right there. Replies should be addressed
to the sender (specified either in the "From:" or the "Reply-to:" fields).

I agree that I wouldn’t complain if Thunderbird would do the same, but
simply because I would had worked around the issue.

I agree, but this would be a reason to set a proper reply-to field.

Many thanks for your help,
