Description

See https://github.com/r-a-y/bp-reply-by-email/issues/123.

Basically, PHPMailer was upgraded from v5.2.27 to v6.1.6 in WP 5.5 and this caused an issue with how RBE was working around how a long reply-to email address could be silently discarded. This technique can now corrupt the 'Reply-To' email header, making it impossible to reply to the correct BuddyPress item by email.

I will backport the fix for the next maintenance release.
