But it's good practice to put it in there so that when you add yet another header, you don't mistakenly leave it out where it is needed. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?

Is that a fact, Richard? It was always my understanding that the raw connection to the SMTP server initiated by the PHP mail() functions and Sendmail required the \r\n separator for every field other than SUBJECT (included in the DATA part of the message body). And it's my opinion, of course, but any SPAM filter that would require a reply-to header is done in bad form. It should certainly require X-Mailer, but what good is a spoof-able reply-to header if the from header is already in place, real or unreal? -- Daniel P.
