Sorry if this has been covered before; I don't recall it since the
inception of the group.  I mail to a guy using the path
oakhill!inmet!wait.  However, mail to me is forwarded from oakhill to
my workstation, so when I get mail from him his Return-Path: and From:
(there is no Reply-To:) is motbos!inmet!wait, which is what Mush uses
to construct a reply path.  Oakhill talks to motbos, but I can't get
on oakhill to reply directly.

Is there any way that Mush can automatically modify the reply path?
I've been using ~t and replacing the To: data with an alias, which
seems to work.  I assume an alias that looks like a mail path wouldn't
work, since Mush would just take it as a mail path (maybe a bad
assumption).  I also looked at auto_route with a specific pathname,
but I don't want to prepend oakhill to *all* replies (e.g. I reply to
messages on our local net as well).

Any tips appreciated.  Also you can let me know if this is just a
screwy setup we've got here :-).
