Speaking of mail replies, there's an annoyance related to using a REPLY-TO field, which I currently use because the host I'm sending from isn't recognized on the Internet. When the recipient responds to a message with a REPLY-TO which also has CC addresses, the CC's are omitted in the reply; only the REPLY-TO address is used. RFC822 isn't specific about this; it just says "if REPLY-TO exists, then the reply should go to the addresses indicated in that field and not to the address(es) indicated in the FROM field." I'm CC'ing Header-People on this since someone there may know of a way to do what I'm trying to do (ie, have CC's get replies if I use REPLY-TO). From what I can tell, the only way is to have a valid FROM field. scott
