Only if you insist on adding the To: address to the Reply-To: address
when sending.  If there's a Reply-To:, it's probably there for good

If, of course, you have procmail available and you don't mind losing
all duplicates, for pure "same message-ID" values of "duplicate".
(Including, for exmaple, private copies of list mail; at least some
people I've heard from _want_ separate copies, since they file direct
mail and list mail separately.)
