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! :-)
