Answers.Body: <p>This is a mechanism for handling bounce messages and replies in response to the mailing so that they are associated with the individual that mail was sent to.

Answers.Text: Thanks. I was able to solve this issue by going CiviMail > CiviMail Component Settings. I unchecked the box "Track replies using VERP in Reply-To header" and the reply-to looks normal now.

Body: <p>I sent out a mass mailing via CiviMail and the reply-to email is default+r{seemingingly_random_string}@gmail.com
  I am using Sparkpost to send these mailings.

  Any idea why the reply-to email is this odd-looking email and not the same as the From address?</p>

  Is reply-to tracking enabled? It might be adding VERP tracking, as Mick mentions.
  
  Otherwise, I recently noticed that CiviMail will use the default site "From" as the Reply-To, unless the Reply-To override option was enabled in the CiviMail Settings. (this seemed a bit counter-intuitive to me, I would have assumed that the Reply-To would default to the same address as the From)
