Problem with git send-email and --reply-to

Hello everybody,
either I've found a bug or there is something absolutely not obvious going on here with git send-email.
I want to use the --reply-to option with git send-email to make sure that people reply to my AMD mail address and not my gmail address used for sending mails.
When I use the option on the command line it works fine, but when I put that into my .gitconfig it doesn't seem to have any effect.
Any idea what could be wrong here?
.gitconfig looks like this:
[user]
    name = Christian König
    email = christian.koenig@amd.com
[sendemail]
    reply-to = christian.koenig@amd.com

Thanks in advance, Christian.
