odd that only her localhost gets converted but not my own internal
localhost deliveries stay as localhost ... oh well too much header

for that particular email that has the reply going to
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" the headers looks like:
x> From [EMAIL PROTECTED]
x> Return-Path:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
> Received: from murphy.debian.org (murphy.debian.org [146.82.138.6])
....

hummm .... the mua is not supposed to change this header
( i manually added the -x- for the other folks )
bad reply-to in my book .. but its not worth the time to go
see where and why it is the way it became
- my impression is the sending mua sets the "reply-to"
and the receiving mua only gets to add the very first "From" line
