In Mush, just type:
    my_hdr Reply-To: roberts
and there you go.  Note: Mush is backwards compatible with ucbMail,
so there's no learning curve involved in getting up to speed with
Mush.  However, Mush is as powerful as the other mail packages, if
not more so, so it might be worth your while to ftp it than to
continue hacking your ucbMail.  And while I'm pushing Mush :-),
it's portable to virtually all versions of UNIX (no problems yet)
and there is a DOS version as well.

ftp info: ucbvax:pub/mailers/mush-7.0.tar.Z
those who want the DOS version mail to lmoc@lena.uucp (via uunet).
Mush is currently at version 7.0.4.  7.1 will be out shortly --
this has significant improvements to the sunview mode.
