That is not my experience. I've generally found that systems like this,
and in particular plain VMSmail, put the Reply-To: address in the "from"
field. The rationale is simple: "our" users (ie my boss and all the top
execs) should get the service they expect, because they'll demand it and
end up making proposals we can't refuse. Too bad for the Internet, that's
the price they pay for not running cc:Mail, and the Internet is a mess
anyway! :-)
