From: The prefered mail address of the person who wrote the message.
Sender: The address of the mailbox from where the message originates,
if this is different from the "From: " address.
Reply-To: The mail address where you want replies to this particular
message to go, if not to the "From: " address.
In most cases, "From: " should be enough. "Reply-To: " should only be
used if you want replies /for this particular message/ to go somewhere
different than your usual mail address.
I.e. if I talk about AUC TeX on the net, I may use "Reply-To: " to
direct answers to the mailbox I use for AUC TeX related stuff.
