Ok.  I think I have fixed that so the email comes out now
as "joel@iceland.oarcorp.com".  I am Fedora 8 and it looks
like the Mail/mail program does not honor the REPLYTO

that would help either.

Any ideas?

joel@iceland.oarcorp.com isn't a valid email address.  I could change
that but would prefer to find a way to make the Reply-To use a valid
email address. <sigh>

Given that I won't ever run this on a machine directly on the Internet,
I doubt that's really an option.

Thank you. I know you must get tired of the same ignorant questions.
