Not sure about mail(1); manpage says environment variable REPLYTO
is honored; you might try to modify the headers to add the "-f me at mine.com"
switch.

That said, I have EMAIL defined here because mutt's manpage says it can
be used for exactly what you are asking about, and plain mail(1) seems
to honor that in a local test.  You might give it a try; either define
it in your shell resource scripts or your ~/.mailrc.

BTW, if you're wanting to use mail from console, I'd recommend mutt
over mail(1) any day of the week, unless you have some mitigating
circumstance....

HTH,
