If you have a reasonably up-to-date elm, by typing 'h' you can edit
certain headers. Amongst these is the Reply-To: header.

I think that RFC822 (if I remember correctly) says that the From: header
should *always* be correct (ie you should always know who actually sent
the mail) - this seems reasonable. For the case of a secretary sending
mail, this is also addressed in RFC822, and gives a standard solution
to this problem.
