Actually it is still possible to "reply to certain messages" either by

1. editing the field manually, or

2. rewriting the replcomps so repl reads Return-Path or Reply-To field
   first rather than From field.

I took 2 but this sometimes picks you up another strange reply address
from Reply-To, with which I can live by using -query.  But -query in
.mh_profile does not seem to be supported by mh-e for 18.50 gnuemacs
release, which made me alias 'reple -query' to something in shell.
