Sendmail changes all addresses in header lines that normally contain
addresses to use the correct normal form. I.e., it translates
Reply-To: leo to Reply-To: leo@marco.de. In the normal configuration
it only does this on outgoing messages, but you can easily configure
it on local mail as well (FEATURE(`always_add_domain')).

If you ever got an auto-reply from gnats then you should have noticed
that it works ;)
