just a good old 2.2-0801-SNAP system
	

>Description:

if you have an environment variable $REPLY_TO set send-pr doesn't use it... 
caused my last send-pr not to have to proper reply-to address...  also..  is 
it good not to include domain in from?

of course is this the really intended behavior?
	

>How-To-Repeat:

in sh:
export REPLY_TO=somethingelse
send-pr
/Reply-To:
notice that it reads exactly the same as from: and not somethingelse
	

>Fix:
	
possibly apply this patch or someother patch:
