Having Reply-To: be the same as From: is hardly superfluous or
unusual, but I haven't had any problem doing it, either.  Is the
comparison case-sensitive?  I capitalize my site name in my
reply-to:, so maybe that confuses the checking routine and lets
me put the header the way it belongs?

Now if only I could get a Return-Receipt-To: header to show up in
my default headers, with no value, so that I could add one when I
wanted to see where some peice of mail is going astray!

    Have you tried actually putting in a customized header 
(Return-Receipt-To:) with no value?  I haven't needed to do so myself, 
but I would think it should work, at least in Pine 3.91.  Normally, if 
there is no value assigned to the header, Pine would ignore it for 
outgoing mail and news.  When you want to include it, just go into the 
header, press Ctrl-R for Rich Headers, and put in the address before 
you send.

Try editing your default-composer-hdrs variable.
