[comp.mail.elm] reply to field?

gupta@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu (04/11/90)

Is there a way to specify the 'reply-to:' field? We have a nameserver
which allows us to use addresses such as foo@uiuc.edu which then get
expanded to foo@foo.bar.uiuc.edu. If I send from foo@foo.bar.uiuc.edu
then elm currently has the user reply to the same addr. I'd like
the user to reply to foo@uiuc.edu (in case I change mail machines).

Thanks!

1/ create a .elm/elmheaders  (RTFM :-)
2/ Headers menu: `u'ser defined
3/ Fix your MTA.  There is no need for the Header of the message and the
   Envelope to say the same
