The problem is that header-action sticks the \\( and \\) around your
regular expression for you, so you end up with:

^\\(From\\|To\\|Cc\\|Reply-to\\):\\s-*.*\\(\\(abc\\.com\\|def\\.com\\)\\)$

The extra () grouping shouldn't be too big of a problem, but that $
might... If you are replying to someone and their email address looks like:

To: William M. Perry <wmperry@abc.com>

It won't match because of the '>' at the end of the line.  If you sent to
just wmperry@abc.com it would probably work.

It looks like you need to construct your regular expression so that it
includes things _after_ the email address as well.

What if you use:

\\(abc\\|def\\)\\.com.*

This is all just from a quick perusal of the header-action.el code -
don't sue me if I'm wrong. :)
