This appears to be due to an error in message.el.

(defun message-insert-to ()
  "Insert a To header that points to the author of the article being replied to."
  (interactive)
  (let ((co (message-fetch-field "mail-copies-to")))
    (when (and co
               (equal (downcase co) "never"))
      (error "The user has requested not to have copies sent via mail")))

The `message-fetch-field' should be changed to
`message-fetch-reply-field'.
