I have never used an email client which to my knowledge had a "Reply to 
Group" ability or a "Reply to Readers" as described here in an earlier post. 
The most likely client I can think of which might have this would be Eudora 
because it is so very customisable, but it is some years since I have used 
Eudora. However "Reply to All" is very common indeed.

The emails arrive to me without omniweb in Reply-To header.

My interpretation of this thread is that they are not considered the same 
thing by those that have mentioned them, but I could be wrong  :)
