It is better to keep the From: fairly valid (it's only polite)
and modify the Reply-To:.

Go straight for sendmail:

        ( echo "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
          echo "To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
          echo "Bcc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
          echo "Subject: whatever"
          echo "Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
          echo
          cat message-file
        ) | sendmail -oi -t

All the other programs (mail, mutt etc) as just going to be calling sendmail anyway...

What the hell, it's only 4 month's grant - I can live in a cardboard box, and
catch pigeons for food. After all, I've got raytracing to do!
