The site settings `reply_by_email_enabled` and `reply_by_email_address` are not showing up in Admin - Email settings. Funny enough, the `alternative_reply_by_email_addresses` setting does show.

It seems they’re missing an `area` key in `site_settings.yml` although I don’t understand how they do show up in Admin - All Site Settings - Email.
