What I am after, and I suspect the OP would also like, is a solution that simply does the Right Thing when you hit 'r', thus avoiding those moments of "oh bugger, it's a list message, should have hit 'l'". Perhaps this ~/bin/du-add-reply-to script would be better: #!/bin/bash TMPFILE=/tmp/repadd.$$ cat > $TMPFILE cat << EOF | ed $TMPFILE > /dev/null 2>&1 1,/^$/s/^Reply-To: /X-Original-&/ 1 /^From: / a Reply-To: debian-user@lists.debian.org . w q EOF /usr/sbin/exim -bm yourusername@localhost < $TMPFILE rm -f $TMPFILE (note: 'cat foo | ed bar' is not the same as 'ed bar < foo'...) Of course, this doesn't handle the case of making an off-list reply... -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
