That's not 100% correct :-)
The same way you're able to change the Reply-To address via macro you're
allowed to change the From address too.
%FROM="My other Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
%REPLYTO="My other Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" at the end of a
template would be your friedn :-)
Nevertheless one question: If you intend to change the address people reply
to, _AND_ do not want them to see you _real_ e-mail-address, _WHY_ setting
>From _AND_ Reply-To ???
Simple setting From to the value you're happy with is fairly enough :-)
Reply-To is taken by MUA (Mail User Agents, aka Mail-Clients) for sending an
answer to, BUT: if Reply-To is _NOT_ present the From-address is taken. So
Reply-To does _only_ make any sense if (ONE possible scenario):
You're working in a hotline, somebody asks a silly question, you're answering,
BUT: if this person has a second question his mail should go to
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' instead of '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
For exactly _this_ case (one out of thousands!) Reply-To makes sense.
If From & Reply-To are _identical_ Reply-To is obsolet ...
Just for your information, good luck with all the suggestions from that list
:-)
