Generating Reply-To Field
I would like to configure mail for one of my unix accounts to work in the following manner: (i) each message sent to the account should be automatically forwarded to a list of users on the internet and (ii) each forwarded message should have a "reply-to" field of my choice added. I suppose that I could use a combination of formail and procmail but I was wondering if there was a simpler way using only simple .mailrc and .forward files.

Ah! This makes more sense.
I think that .mailrc is used only by Berkeley Unix's Mail
program. Reading my man page for it, it only can
only do what you could do with a set command within mail.
Ok. I think that fastmail is your best bet. Fastmail
is part of the elm package. It has a flag for setting
the reply to. Documentation has an example script for
mailing a message to a large list.
