>Release: FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE i386
>Environment:
sh shell
sh and ~/.mailrc
>Description:
if you (according to the manpage) say "set REPLYTO=abc@xyz.net"
in your ~/.mailrc file, the "Reply-To:" field remains unaltered.
>How-To-Repeat:
Insert a "set REPLYTO=abc@xyz.net" line in your
~/.mailrc file.
>Fix:
you must work around this problem by saying
"export REPLYTO=abc@xyz.net" in the sh shell
before starting Mail. (It would be nice to
be able to set "From:" also, which is not
currently possible. it is VERY necessary
when mailing from CGI scripts (internet
shops, etc) so that you can mail on the
command line without the sendee getting
mail from Apache (ie - From: Unprivelaged User
<nobody@xyz.net> )
