The spam filters just go with what works, mostly, and they've noticed that lazy spammers don't have Reply-to: and most decent mail clients used by Real People do, and they take a point off for it. And we could go on at length about broken email clients that do or don't handle From: without Reply-to: correctly, but the long and the sort of it is, I'd advise folks to add the Reply-to: even if it's the same as From: if you want your mail to get through and the email clients to "work right" when they go to reply to it... That's just been MY experience. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want? I want you to buy a CD from some indie artist. http://cdbaby.com/browse/from/lynch Yeah, I get a buck. So?
