The point is that when you set the headers correctly on your message, a reply from someone on your message will not generate a duplicate in the first place, thereby eliminating your problem even before it exists :)
To add a data point, this message was a "reply-to-all" in Thunderbird 3.1.10. It included Tom's address, ignoring the reply-to: header.
Considering Thunderbird's popularity, just using a reply-to: header won't solve the duplicate message "problem". This is especially true on open mail lists, like those at kernel.org, where "reply-to-all" is expected of participants.
