It would help to see the appropriate sections of your
directors-list.config, but here's the probable explanation:
Are you sure you meant to say "the email address in the From: field is
mine", or do you mean the To: field. Reply-to doesn't affect the "From:"
address. E-mail sent to a Majordomo list (and most others) will always
show the actual sender's address on the "From:" line. The Reply-to
address comes into play when someone replies to a list message, causing
the e-mail client to auto-insert the Reply-to address on the "To:" line of
the reply. It doesn't work in all e-mail client software.
If you're sending a multipart/mime message, as most e-mail clients do by
default these days, headers and footers configured in
directors-list.config are non-functional. They work only in plain text
message.
