:) Have you heard of the Reply-To: header?  That does just what you want.

Yep, I just checked again and I can't control that :(  Maybe we can do a
dirty hack by making ~/.mailcap read-only or something similar while setup
is run.

No no, it was a mistake I made - users were never meant to run it themselves

Umm, what I meant was that I'm not convinced we should be doing this at all
- the existence of an OpenOffice.org 1.0 directory implies the user ran
setup manually, and I'd rather we don't even support running setup manually,
since it introduces new unwanted problems.  The only reason for running
manually at the moment, is so that the Java home can be specified instead of
being none, and I'd rather we solve that automatically, too.

Hehe - absolutely.  I'll leave it to you to take it upstream :)
