"Type the value you would have given to --in-reply-to command line option (if you forgot to use it), or leave this field empty" perhaps?

What path should we take to fixing this issue for them? The ideal way would be to craft step (0) well enough so that new users trigger the To: prompt in the first place, which would automatically make the problem disappear ;-)
