My own configuration is exmh + nmh + sendmail; the From: address is added
by sendmail.
If you need to add `Reply-To:', or other components, automatically, you need
to set up a file called components in your personal Mail directory. This
is used by mh for all messages originated by you. You also need to have
Mail/replcomps for messages where you are replying to someone with repl,
Mail/forwcomps for messages which forward another message with forw, and
Mail/distcomps for messages which you are redistributing with dist.
Here is my Mail/components file (everything between the blank lines):

Since my `From:' address is correctly set by sendmail, I don't need a
`Reply-To:' line, but you could add one. I suggest, though, that your smail
configuration is the place to look in order to correct the `From:' line.
