[comp.mail.mh] Using "reply-to"

abrams%smiley@GATEWAY.MITRE.ORG (02/24/89)

We have a bunch of client diskness nodes which is causing a small mail
problem.  When you log into one of these nodes and send mail the
"from" address is not well known and cannot be replied to.

So I edited my components file in MAIL to include a line "Reply-to:"
I then sent myself some mail and tried to reply to it using repl.  The
message which was generated had NO address at all.

I don't know if the problem was in the outgoing message's "Reply-to"
field or in repl's inability to process such a field.  Can someone
tell me what to do.

One further problem.  My address contains a %.  When I tried to
include it in my replcompos file that % caused all kinds of parsing
errors.  How do I get around that?

Many thanks for your help!

Sincerely,
