Important bug: Strange Reply-To fields in iOS 17.4 Mail

Seems new after iOS 17.4 update.  Reply-To field contains address from another email than the one being read.  This has potential to send information to unintended recipients, not to mention confusing email threads.

Reply-To field has address from other mail (from mailing list?). Stopping mail app and reopen it fixes it temporarily. Issue seems to reoccur after opening Mail app 1st time since restart iPhone. On Reddit other users also report this bug.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17

Ive noticed this too. I cant work out if it is the address from the last email in the list that i opened or the email directly above or below it in the list. It seems to fix itself if i jump from email to email really slowly, as in minutes apart not seconds. It is a display thing though because if i try to reply to the email it replies to the correct email in the from box and not the one in the reply to box. It even crosses email inboxes so if I’m in All Inboxes it’ll show the reply to address from a personal email list when i jump from a work one its a bit difficult to explain
