Perhabs a different way in outlook 2002 to handle reply-to field ...

Specifically RFC2076 "Common Internet Message Headers" reports that the =

use of Reply-To: is "controversial", that is, "The meaning and usage of =

this header is controversial, meaning that different implementors have=20
chosen to implement the header in different ways. Because of this, such =

headers should be handled with caution and understanding of the =
different=20
possible interpretations." (RFC2076, page 4)

So don't be sure this works with any mua ...

Don't know why outlook 2000 work fine with it and 2002 not ... a bug ? =
an
selectable option (due to security enhancements) ?
Did you try to upgrade to last outlook 2002 service pack to see if it =
solve
this problem ? (don't find any think from google for this problem with
outlook 2002 ... even at Microsoft KB)
