Return-path: and Reply-To: are definately different headers.
Return-path is NOT a normal header, and cannot be set through the 4th
PHP argument.
It can be set by the 5th argument. This feature was added in 4.0.5 --
and if you're using something older than that, you should upgrade
anyway. :-)

You want a valid Return-path: to help avoid spam filters, and to get
back error messages from MTA/MUAs that don't trust From and Reply-to.
Course, it's only a matter of time before Return-path is not trusted,
and some genius will come up with YAH (yet another header) that we'll
all have to cope with. :-v
