Description Wassime 2020-10-18 18:28:09 UTC 
Hello,
If a message contains the "Reply-To" header, the functionality "Reply to author |Shift+A]" will not work as expected since it will always reply to the email(s) listed in "Reply-To" header instead of replying to the person who sent the message "From" header.
Best regards,
Wassime.

KMail is working as intended.  See the standard, https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc822: "Reply-to" overrides "From", with the assumption that authors deliberately set it because they want replies to go to a particular address.
