As far as i know, there is no such variable.
If you need such thing (besides email_receiver, email_cc_receivers, email_bcc_receivers, ...) you'll need to hack the file:

kernel/content/collectedinformation.php

at line 295 i think:

$mail->setSender( $sender );
$mail->setReplyTo( $sender );

I gave up a few weeks ago searching for this. Using an extension to avoid hacking the kernel seems not possible. you'll not be update-save.

Thank you so much for your hint.
It's hard to believe that this is a desired feature up to now ... it's v.4.1 after all!

The piece of code to implement is as simple as this:
Around line 275

  $replyto = $tpl->variable( 'email_replyto' );

After line 295

         if ( $mail->validate( $replyto ) )
             {
            	$mail->setReplyTo( $replyto );
             }
             else 
             {
             	$mail->setReplyTo( $sender );
             }

Then the replyto-address can be set to user's email and returned by template:

{set-block scope=root variable=email_replyto}{$collection.data_map.email.content}{/set-block}

@ez-devs:
Please implement to v.4.1.x !
Thank you.

Actually you can do this in a template.
extension/ezwebin/design/ezwebin/templates/content/collectedinfomail/form.tpl

Right after the {foreach... line add this:

{if $attribute.contentclass_attribute.identifier|eq('email')}{section show=$attribute|get_class|eq( 'ezinformationcollectionattribute' )}{set-block scope=root variable=email_sender}{$:attribute.data_text|wash}{/set-block}{/section}{/if}

The sender and reply-to will be set to the 'email' attribute from the feedback form.

Yes, but the problem was to set the reply-to-adresse to a DIFFERENT address than the sender (e.g. in case the sender has to be your own email address to be delivered by your provider's mail server ...)
UPDATE: the ez guys did their homework: with v.4.2 you don't have to hack the kernel anymore !
To set the reply-to-address simply add to your template this:



{set-block scope=root variable=email_reply_to}{$collection.data_map.email.content}{/set-block}

Is there any other configuration necessary to use:
        
<span>{</span><a href="http://doc.ez.no/set-block" mce_href="http://doc.ez.no/set-block" target="ez_no_documentation"><span>set-block</span></a> <span>scope</span><span>=</span>root <span>variable</span><span>=</span>email_reply_to<span>}</span><span>{</span><span>$collection</span>.<span>data_map</span>.<span>email</span>.<span>content</span><span>}</span><span>{</span><span>/</span><a href="http://doc.ez.no/set-block" mce_href="http://doc.ez.no/set-block" target="ez_no_documentation"><span>set-block</span></a><span>}</span>

    
I have tried removing the email sender value from the site.ini override and added a static test value between the set-block email_reply_to tags as well, but i'm not having any luck.
For testing in collectedinfomail/content/form.tpl I have used the following set-block
{set-block scope=root variable=email_reply_to}testof@setblock.com{/set-block}
And I tried using the value testof@setblock.com with and without quotes.
UPDATE: WORKING NOW
I'm not sure what fixed it. I tried adding EmailReplyTo in Mail settings with a blank value and it worked, then removed that line and tried it again and it's still working so I'm not sure what was wrong. But thanks for the addition
