Please don't do this. Just use "Reply to all"... If you start messing up Reply-To: you risk loosing the possibility of getting back to the person who send the mail. I sometimes send emails to LKML from work, and naturally I put my home email addr. in Reply-To: so people who respond send their reply to a location where I'll actually see it.. Also when I'm travelling I may send mails from locations I'll never re-visit and use temporary addresses (or other peoples addresses), without being able to set Reply-To: properly, I'd never get the replies.
There are lots of other good reasons not to do this. I'd suggest you read this link : http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html
