Not that I know of.  I just had to add such an option to our version of ucb
Mail in IRIX.  I don't think you can do it at all with standard ucb Mail.

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.

} Not that I know of.  I just had to add such an option to our version of ucb
} Mail in IRIX.  I don't think you can do it at all with standard ucb Mail.

You can't do it "right", but you can do it:

----------------------------------------
#! /bin/sh
# "mail" front-end for Reply-To: headers
echo -n "Subject: "
read subject
# Note imbedded return in the "" text
mail -s "$subject
Reply-To: a_preferred_return_address" $*
----------------------------------------

I won't go to the work of figuring out how to test for "set ask" before
prompting for the subject, nor how to parse a -s option to the script,
but it can be done.

You still ought to get Mush. ;-)

Most mailers use a fixed, predefined header. To change the header you
must use a mailer which is capable of adding lines to the header. Elm is
such a type of mailer. What the layout of the header concerns :
  It ends with an empty line.
  It must have a To and From line.

I'm two weeks behind on my news :-(, so sorry if I missed someone else's
posting (expired by now) with this answer.  MH lets you customize
the header completely.  You make a blank draft template file called
"components".  It could look like this:

	To:
	Reply-to: a_preferred_return_address
	cc:
	Subject:
	-------

Then, when you send a message, you'll be prompted for the empty components.
The Reply-to: component in this file will be used, as is, automatically.
