Mutt allows one to specify any headers you like, even being able
to tailor them to the recipient.

One could also contruct your own headers, and feed it through
sendmail:

cat << DONE
From: foo at example.com
Subject: anything you like
Reply-To: foo1 at exmple.com

There is a blank line separating this message body from the
headers above.

Bill
DONE || /usr/lib/sendmail recipient at example.com

Substitute the appropriate path for sendmail if necessary.

any more about this thing than an economist does, and, God knows, he
doesn't know much.  -- Will Rogers
