I maintain several mailing lists.  When I reply to administrative
requests to the mailing list, I'd like to have a From line
automatically created from the address to which the mail was
addressed.  I.e. if one of the recipients on the To: or Cc: line is
gated-people-request@comet.cit.cornell.edu, I would like it to appear
on the From: line instead of on the Cc: line.  And I would like it to
happen automagically so I don't have to issue a different command to
reply to different mail.

Can anyone suggest a method that would be compatible with both command
line and mh-e use of MH.

Thanks.

Jeff
