- A REPLYTO will use the name and e-mail address if it is
- in your NAMES file. REPLYTO is *not* to be confused with REPLY!
- If I do "REPLYTO *" it grabs my "Bill Williams <CMS2@ETSU>"
- right out of my NAMES file.

- I'm a simple minded (quit the snickering) user/administrator, but I
- would like just a touch more flexibility to the REPLY options concerning
- the intended.
-
- Since I am an SysProg and the PostMaster I sometimes need to REPLY to an
- item that has been RESENT from a FORWARDED from a RESENT from a
- FORWARDED ...etc. which originaltd lord knows where, and would like to
- see additions to the 'ALL', 'FROM', and 'SENDER' options. Or more
- precisely some *qualifiers* to the existing so that I may be real
- specific. I want to say something like:
- REPLY TEXT SENDER RESENT
- | FROM |
- or REPLY TEXT SENDER NORESENT or ORIGINAL
-
- I generally get around problems wherein I cannot get the specific I want
- with the REPLY by doing a REPLY ALL and then EXCLUDE da-de-da for those
- I don't want.
