uucp and preserving Reply-to: how?

   At present, I receive my email via uucp,
   but I would like to know how to keep
   the "Reply-to:" intact (I want to force
   an internet address without sendmail munging it).

   So, what do I do?

Generally, the mail headers are munged by the sending machine into
what it thinks will be able to get back to it from the receiving
machine.  (This is clearly a design flaw, since only the receiving
machine really knows that.)  So, ideally, you should have the sendmail
on the machine that is sending you the mail fixed.

Lotsa luck.

In practice, you can have the sendmail on your machine un-mung the
incoming addresses.  Though, like all sendmail hacking, this is rather
hairy.  You can start with the O'Reilly book on sendmail, or you could
hire me to work on it for you :-).
