Subject: Pine and Reply-To: bugs?

hello,

There seems to be a problem with the Reply-To: header in PINE 3.95.
We have seen this problem on one Solaris 2.5 two 2.5.1 and one linux
2.0.27 machines.
All four machines were using sendmail 8.8.3/8.8.4 
but I saw it happen on a machine that originally had sendmail 8.7.5.

The problem is when someone sends mail to an acct that only exists as an
alias or has a .forward file.  When the ultimate recipient 
selects to reply to the address in the Reply-To: line, PINE
seems to actually use  either the original sender (FROM:) or 
the alias/.forward recipient (To:) 

This behaviour is inconsistant in that for some addresses Pine works
exactly as expected...

Why???
Is some thing broken somewhere or is this a feature?
