>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> )
