programs like Eudora do not allow setting a Reply-To: address.
As I understand it, the Reply-To address was introduced only recently, and
that is why everyone uses the Return Address for this function. Also, the
relationship between the Reply-To Address and the Return Address is not
well defined. We could insist that our clients use the Reply-To address,
and leave their Return Address as is, but I fear it will be a long time
before we see this flexibility universally available in all email programs.
I would be interested to know what other email programs allow setting
separate Reply-To and Return Addresses.
It's there in my Kmail and my Thunderbird. IIRC, Outlook has it too (It's
been a year and a half since I used Outlook regularly).
I think Eudora is the exception rather than the rule.
It depends on your definition of recent. RFC 822 (which was published in
1982) has it:
