It just occured to me that it is probably added by a mistake and the sender really wanted to add it to In-Reply-To: instead of Reply-To:

I wonder if this is a mistake we can do something to help users avoid? "git send-email" has the "--reply-to=" option and there is a valid use case for that option, so disabling that option is a non-starter.

Of course there are other ways to send e-mailed patches, but I do not think of a way to misuse them with reply-to and in-reply-to mixed up.

Thoughts?
