You might even consider using PostFix if you're on Mac OS X. While very

Reply-To: fields.
E.g.
Reply-To: Beryl Slaughter [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As a Powermail user, can you confirm this? How has it
affected you, if at all. Have you lost data?
I use PowerMail heavily, and I've never lost any data. I've occasionally
had to do a low-level rebuild - once after a power cut happened while I
was using it - and
