Nope, that's flat wrong, but your next attempt is OK.

Note that you might be getting multiple Reply-To headers doing this,
which could lead to some unpredictable results.

That's the right way to do it.

You don't show us any example headers to see whether or not the header
is actually getting inserted, but I suspect your problem may be your
subscribers' mail readers. Some brain dead mailers on toy systems don't
pay any attention to things like Reply-To, so even if Mj is inserting
the header it may not make any difference. Look at some real, live
headers (not with your mail reader, it may be lying) and then decide
what works and what doesn't.
