Here's a small patch that fixes (?) the $reply_address expansion
variable setup when a message has an empty Reply-To: header.

The exim manual states:

$reply_address: When a message is being processed, this variable
contains the contents of the Reply-To: header line if one exists, or
otherwise the contents of the From: header line.

This is correct, and reflects the current behaviour. However, when a
"From: foo" header is there, and an empty Reply-To: header is set,
$reply_address is empty, which is (IMHO) not the "correct" functionality
(it does match the docs, but I think the docs need to be changed too :) ).

regards,

/tom
