Huh. TTBOMM, It used not to be possible to switch off reply-to, only
point it to somewhere else, but when I looked just now, the option was
called "Specify a different "reply-to" address (optional)", and as the
label implies, is off by default. (There isn't even a text box to
enter the address until you click that link.)

So the issue does appear solved.
