Bitch a lot.  Seriously, though.  I posted a request for this fix a
while back figuring that it's such an *obvious* bug that someone must
have fixed it long ago.  Wrongo.  There may be a way to take care of it
if you're running a BSD site.  I noticed that in all the machines that
I've worked on (all BSD) a "From" line at the top of the message is
constructed correctly.  The problem is that reply uses the "From:"
field instead of the "From" at the top.  Unfortunately, I haven't had
time to take a good look at the problem.  I usually alias the people I
mail to most, and the site I'm going back to at Princeton (in Sept.)
has pathaliasing so for me this is only a temporary problem anyway.
Good luck...
