Ah, yes, but, I think it may depend on both the email application, and,
on the View->Headers setting.

As I showed in a previous posting, with Netscape 4.7, with the setting
View->Headers->Normal, with the Reply To set by Brian's email
application, no Reply To address was displayed. Viewing the full header,
displayed the Reply To address, but, it seems a bit heavy handed, to
have to view the full headers on all emails. It makes reading emails a
bit more time-consuming, and heavy-going, when getting around 50-100
emails a day.
