It would be great if Lafite would stick in a Reply-to Field when one sends a message to a distribution list.  For those of us who were used to using Laurel this is a REALLY useful feature.  It''s embarrassing after working here 3 years to get public floggings for not having done something which you were accustomed to the system taking care of for you.'

Dear S & E,'
'
Sorry about that.  Inserting a Reply-to field when appropriate is high on my list of things to do when overhauling the message sender.  I am often embarrassed when I see messages from Lafite users that omit a Reply-to field because of deficiencies in their mail program...'

I''d like the same options for Reply-To': that Hardy gives': namely a 3-way option':'
send anyway'
don''t send'
add reply-to'

when the message recipients include a DL.'
'
This is low impact because it won''t do much good in non-XEROX environments.'
