Mutt allows one to specify any headers you like, even being able to tailor them to the recipient. One could also contruct your own headers, and feed it through sendmail: cat << DONE From: foo@example.com Subject: anything you like Reply-To: foo1@exmple.com There is a blank line separating this message body from the headers above.
