Please add Reply-To to keep it simple for users who have a limited email
client such as Outlook Express.

At the moment I am checking out Kolab. When I can get a stable build :( I
will then look to for a better email client. I am also stuck with using a
Windows' PC for email.

Mike.

P.s. when Kolab RC2 comes out will you please add binaries for SuSE 8.1?
