>>Reply-to and From are both listed twice

This is called "oversigning" and means that a null variant of Reply-To: and 
From: are signed too,
preventing adding additional headers of Reply-To: And From:.

This is particular important for headers that are permitted to be in a email 
multiple times, as an
attacker could add headers into a signed mail without failing signature, if the 
headers are not
"oversigned".

With oversigning (twice header listing):

Signed:
Reply-To: m...@somebody.com

In email:
Reply-To: m...@somebody.com
Reply-To: attac...@suspicious.com

Would fail signature.

Without oversigning (header only listed once):

Signed:
Reply-To: m...@somebody.com

In email:
Reply-To: m...@somebody.com
Reply-To: attac...@suspicious.com

Would pass signature.
