Ticket #3909 described a problem where an email's reply-to "personal"
part has significance to the processor of the response.

Right now, when the mailbox of the reply-to is the same as the from
address, mutt uses the from address.

Ordinarily, I would think this was an oversight, and just change the
behavior.  However, in this case the change was explicitly made and
documented in changeset https://dev.mutt.org/trac/changeset/b531787fd261

I sent an initial email to the other committers to see if they could
think why this would be, but perhaps the broader audience on mutt-dev
may have some ideas.  Can anyone think what the reason might be for
preferring the From address in the case?
