If a message is CC'd to you by the sender the reply should go to the sender. If however a message is forwarded to you by one of the original recipients, the sender in that case is that recipient, not the original sender.
It's the email client that sets the reply-to header and it could be that different clients handle it in different ways. Mercury will deliver according to the SMTP envelope provided by the email client.
