Sorry, I was confused and thought it had something to do with the MSGID and
reply linking. I saw REPLYID kludges generated by some software and replyTo is
used internally by some message base formats.

I still don't understand what the REPLYTO kludge is good for in this case. It
is also unspecified as a single kludge and not covered by any standard or
proposal. There is FSC-0035 (http://ftsc.org/docs/fsc-0035.001) which defines
REPLYADDR *and* REPLYTO in combination (both have to be included in the
message).

Using the REPLYTO address and ignoring the REPLYADDR could cause issues and is
not a correct implementation of FSC-0035. If this is not intended to be an
implementation of FSC-0035, maybe the Telegram Gateway and OpenXP should use
another kludge.
