However, hdr.reply_id is not a string, but an object (a string object). And then, mb.get_msg_header() doesn't find anything and returns null.
I guess that something has to be fixed elsewhere (I am not familiar with Synchronet's code), but my quick patch doesn't break anything and it works for now: replies in echomail via NNTP have "To: recipient" instead of "To: All".
