None of the ones that I currently use.  But a number of my friends are
stuck using MUAs that either don't allow this at all, or make it
fairly difficult.  And even those that do allow you to edit the
recipient list don't alert you to the presence of reply-to (so you're
surprised/embarassed when the message doesn't go to the author) or
they make it difficult to ignore reply-to when that's what you need to
do.  (e.g. by the time you get to edit the reply recipients, the
original From, To, or Cc header fields are gone)
