If you like, you can set up a similar command: cmd REPLY 'set reply_to_hdr = \!* ; reply' So, the same command you used as an example will work. But there are probably better things to do -- I just set up cmd's to set reply_to_hdr to various headers depending on which message I'm replying to. cmd rfrom set reply_to_hdr = from # set to From: header cmd rfrm set reply_to_hdr = from_ # set to From_ line cmd rto set reply_to_hdr = reply-to # set to Reply-To: cmd r0 unset reply_to_hdr # use default values Silly command names, I know. but, they're examples...
