Adriana,
I'm not sure this will address your problem, as I don't currently have
access to the mentioned mail clients for testing, but I don't believe
your message headers conform to the "Internet Message Format"
standards.
See http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2822.txt
The "Reply-To:" field value is expected to be in address-list format,
while you are adding the address in mailbox format. In short, try
sending only the email address as the value to the Reply-To field, not
the name.
Hope that helps,
Carl.
