Dear Bob,  Thanks very much for contributing the fix below.  I couldn't have
figured it out myself because I don't use w3m.

I was pointed to this wiki page

  http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ViewMailWishlist

which still has outdated information.  Will you be able to update it with the
correct information?

I also wonder why these problems didn't crop up earlier because the change to
the reply functionality was done in 8.0.12.  Did it not arise with 8.0.12?

Cheers,
Uday
