I haven't looked at this code or any history behind it.  However, it
seems like the simplest and most correct (per RFC) behavior would be:
always use the reply-to address if present. But if the reply-to comment
is blank and the address is equal to From, sub in the comment that
appears in From.

I think this is the same as Vincent's description and is what the OP is
asking for, but I'm trying to frame the logic in terms that make sense
in documentation rather than code.
