I'd be cautious about testing for those two being the same, since I
still get mail from people who regularly Cc their own address. Maybe
you would want to test "From:|Reply-To:" aginst just the "To:" line.
Nevertheless, this ought to do what you wish: (untested) This should
match any occurence of the FROM address in any header line matched by
the ^TO token.

        FROM=`formail -zrtxTo`
        :0
        * $^TO.*"$FROM"
        action-line
