Yes, only this is not new.  I have seen this for a while.  It appears
that MS MAIL uses the "Return-path" keyword for replies, instead of
the reply-to:, Sender:, or From: tags.  I have a lot of people on
one list, where they reply to postings, and it comes to me (owner-listname)
instead of the list, because of it.
 
This is not the only problem that I have seen from MS Mail.  I have
heard conflicting answers to whether or not these can be solved.  Not
having a MS Mail system, I couldnt tell you.  I can only tell you that
the errors have not gone away in the last year or so that I have seen
them.
