I've seen similar problems with Thunderbird. It seems to be related to
the 'Reply-To' header looking like this -
Reply-To: "General Linux/UNIX discussion and help;
civil and on-topic" <plug at lists.pdxlinux.org>
It seems to confuse Thunderbird, which, at least for me, construct
an incorrect address when it tries to send the email. I noticed that
if I change the semi-colon (';') to a dash ('-') it seems to work just
fine.
