BAD MSG: wants to specify an address to which "reply to sender" should go, he From field is the place to do it. Reply-to be used to specify the sender's preferences about where replies to this message should go by default, instead of *any* of the From, To, and Cc addresses. and that user agents be encouraged to implement: "reply to sender" send to From address(es) "reply to sender and recipients" send to From, To, and CC addresses "reply" send to Reply-to address(es) if the header exists, else treat as either "reply to sender" or "reply to sender and recipients". (I prefer the latter; many others prefer the former and it's arguably the one that's more widely implemented.) Keith
