	When you upgraded to 3.95, did you read the release notes???

	Have you performed *any* type of "Information Research"?
Did you read the past 10 days worth of traffic on this group and notice
that the "Reply-To: " question has popped up several times?

	I gather not....since if you did you would have tripped over
"quell-dead-letter-on-cancel" in the config menu.  Had you performed
"Information Research" you would have typed "?" and read:

        FEATURE: quell-dead-letter-on-cancel
 
This feature affects Pine's behavior when you cancel a message being
composed.  Pine's usual behavior is to write the canceled message to
a file named "dead.letter" in your home directory (under UNIX;
"DEADLETR" under WINDOWS/DOS) overwriting any previous message. Under
some conditions (some routine), this can introduce a noticeable delay.
 
Setting this feature will cause Pine NOT to write canceled compositions
into the file called dead.letter.
 
NOTE: Enabling this feature means NO record of canceled messages is
maintained.

	If you were to be more information hungry you would have 
found "customized-Headers".  You would then have typed "?" and been
presented with exactly the information you so desire.....

        OPTION: Customized-Headers
 
You may add your own custom headers to all outgoing messages.  Each header
you specify here must include the header tag (Reply-To:, Approved:, etc.)
and may optionally include a value for that header.  If you want to see
these custom headers each time you compose a message, you must add them to
your default composer headers list (see above), otherwise they become part
of the rich header set which you only see when you press the rich header
(Ctrl-R) command.

	Wow....it even mentions the "Reply-To:" header by name.....

	Please folks....try a bit of "Information Research".  You'll
be glad you did.

	Regards,

		Ed

I agree with Ed ... except I think his last sentence should really read:
"_We'll_ be glad you did."  ;-)

Cheers,
