Right, and I have been using formail to rewrite the From and Reply-to headers.
But in addition to doing that, I seem to need to remove most but not all of
the other headers and associated stuff added by the forwarding site to give
my reply a valid "envelope". That's where I'm having problems, because I don't
quite know what I'm doing.  Hence my interest in an easy solution! 8-}
