For a receiving MUA to "honor" the -NoReply fields merely

Note that the mail clients used by a (large? overwhelming?)

hide all but a select (and small) set of headers.
And, to add to Steve's comment, most of them have decided to do
so in the light of overwhelming messages from customers that
they don't want to see a lot of clutter. Few of those MUAs
even manage to display Reply-to without being specially
stimulated, so the expectation of their showing a new, and (at
least initially) little-used, header is, I would think, not
large.
