Uh, the RFCs define the way the tool is supposed to work, so 'regardless 
of the RFC' indicates you don't understand what the RFC is.

Further, kmail is then broken.  Here's the deal.  I send email from 
work, but I don't want responses to go to my work address, I want them 
to go to my home address, thus I set the reply-to field to my home 
address.  This is the reason for the reply-to field.  If your client 
sends the response to both my work and home email address, it's done 
something that the reply-to field was intended to stop from happening.

It's like when you order something online to send to your girlfriend. 
The From: address is yours, for billing purposes.  The Reply-to: is your 
girlfriend's address, because that's where you want the gift sent.  Now 
UPS sends the gift to your address, ignoring your instructions. Don't 
you look pretty in that pink nighty...
