It works like that for me, although I've never tried with a message that
has 130 recipients. I've tried it with ones that have several dozen,
though.
The Reply-To should only affect where the reply to the *sender* goes.,
when doing a group-reply. (At least, that's how it works for me, on my
trusty "old" 1.1.9.) Ie. when I do a group-reply, the To: header will
contain either the original email's From address, or Reply-To if that
was set (depending on $reply_to of course). Then everything else from
the recipient list, but excluding your own email addresses (as defined
by $from and $alternates), goes to the Cc.
That's what I've observed, at least. :-)
Can you reproduce the problem?

Mikko
