I wasn't very clear.  Mutt is reliable but because of the servers AUTH
setup I can't set reply-to because the server sometimes accepts the
mail and sometimes not.  With "ignore_list_reply_to=yes" I can send
mail but it is then, IMHO, broken like Thunderbird and others, in that
it doesn't thread the mail (like my post you replied to).

The problem isn't with mutt or exim4, its the setup of the smtp server.

Thanks for the pointer tho Dave.
