Read RFC-822 some time :).  There are plenty of good reasons to generate a
Reply-To header.  The gist of it is that one uses a Reply-To header when
the sender wishes to direct replies to a mailbox other than the one in the
- From header.

tGBGnB> Why not just make the From header say the right thing in the first

Because making the From header say "the right thing" may be incorrect
behaviour as far as the mail and news RFCs are concerned.
