Easily fixed with a scriptable email client. I use Mailsmith (from Bare Bones) and have a script that catches this attached to its Reply menu item.
For what it's worth, here's the script. As pasted in it will only work in Mailsmith but maybe it will give you the idea.
--> Cut <--
global lst
on MenuSelect(x, y)
set lst to name of container of message of window 1
return false
end MenuSelect
on PostMenuSelect()
if lst is "Applescript" then set address string of first to_recipient of message window 1 to "email@hidden"
set lst to null
end PostMenuSelect
--> Cut <--
