Consider that <email address hidden> configures her MUA to add a Reply-To: <email address hidden> because when configuring the MUA, she was asked where replies should be sent and didn't realize this was optional or for whatever reason answered <email address hidden>.

Consider that <email address hidden> sets all his MUAs to generate Reply-To: <email address hidden> because thats where he wants to read his mail regardless of where the original was sent from.

How does your patch distinguish these cases from the one where the poster sets an explicit Reply-To: for this message only?

The whole idea of reply-to munging is the notion that the list knows better than the poster where replies should go. If you want the poster to be able to determine this, don't mung the reply-to.
