Thanks for the responses - seems that there is no easy solution to our problem, although I like the sound of the IDA enhancements. As you'll see from the header of this note, however, I have managed to generate the appropriate Reply-To field, but it necessitated changing the sendmail code (which I am very loathe to do). It was strightforward enough; follow the example of setting up FullName in main.c and envelope.c, defining an appropriate sendmail macro (I chose $R) and user environment variable (REPLYTO in my case). There is still the problem of replying to reply-to fields, however! We have Replyall set in /usr/lib/Mail.rc which means that "reply" doesn't reply to the Reply-To field, while "Reply" does!! If Replyall isn't set, then the problem is "inverted". Aaarrghh!! Richard
