Huh? That's not what those two fields are used for. "From: " tells
you who sent the message (well, it is supposed to do that:), while the
"Reply-To: " field is put there to force mailers to reply to a message
using that specific address. (Perhaps the "Sender: " line - if
present - would be more appropriate for your needs).
I thought it would be easy. But for some reason it didn't
work. I'v tried adding
-I"Reply: diablo(_at_)mydom(_dot_)com"\
-I"Reply_to: diablo(_at_)mydom(_dot_)com"\
but niether worked.
Wrong header name.
Weird thing to do, but...
-I"Reply-To: diablo(_at_)mydom(_dot_)com"
which will tell formail to change *every* occurence of a Reply-To:
header to point to that address, or add such a field if it is not
there. My advice is not to do that - not unless you have a very
specific reason for doing it.
Also does anyone know where in the man page is a list of all the
fields, their respected names, and their exactly usage?
