| Thanks for the responses - seems that there is no easy solution to | our problem, although I like the sound of the IDA enhancements. A new version was recently published on comp.sources.unix - in the UKC archive if not still in your own News system. | 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). I am sure it is WRONG to have Sendmail do things like that! Sendmail is a Message Transport Agent. Specifying a *preference* for where you want replies to go is surely a User Agent's business. If you must modify something to do this, change Mail. Elm already allows it. | 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!! Use elm!
