[PATCH] send-email: don't duplicate Reply-to:

From: NeilBrown <neilb@ownmail.net>
Date: Sep 15, 2025, 04:12 UTC
Message-ID: <175790952167.1696783.4795702220839036460@noble.neil.brown.name>

If I run
  git send-email --compose --reply-to 'ME <my@address.net>' .....

and edit the intro message, then the message will get two copies of the Reply-To field. gmail.com rejects such messages.

This happens because a Reply-To is inserted into the intro message template, and then the intro message headers are copied and another Reply-to is added.

This patch fixes the problem by noticing the Reply-To: header when the intro is parsed, and using it to assign $reply_to rather than blindly coping it into the new headers.
