Unfortunately, Charles, about 99.3% of the general public, or, say, 87.2% of the people on this 
list don't have such a mail client.  At the moment I'm using Mac Mail, which pulls the sender's 
name if I press Reply, and everybody's name if I press Reply All.  As far as I remember Outlook has 
the same characteristics.  I can't remember what T-Bird did on Linux and I haven't used pine in a 
hundred years.

I think this is probably because Reply To is not set in most clients, and is filled in on sending 
from the Sender field.
