You don't know that. Only the person replying knows where that reply
should go.
Besides, I don't see why getting this result requires fiddling with the
reply-to header. Can you give an example?

?? I don't understand. It does mean removing those addresses from
pretty much all headers (not just To:), but I don't see why it should
require replacing it with something bogus, or why it should be
a big problem. Can you restate the problem?
