Sendmail doesn't support the "Reply-to:" field by default. There are other
commandline tools that do, so if you have the option to install a different mail
tool you can use a commandline option for that. See

http://stackoverflow.com/a/4519341

for an example using heirloom-mailx.

But note that the Reply-to: field has some complications as well. For instance,
it will override a listserv address, so if you have a Reply-to field configured
in your email client and post a message to this email list, replying to your
post will go directly to the Reply-to address instead of to the list.
