Thanks for the responses - seems that there is no easy solution to
our problem, although I like the sound of the IDA enhancements.

As you'll see from the header of this note, however, I have
managed to generate the appropriate Reply-To field, but it 
necessitated changing the sendmail code (which I am very loathe
to do). It was strightforward enough; follow the example of setting
up FullName in main.c and envelope.c, defining an appropriate
sendmail macro (I chose $R) and user environment variable (REPLYTO
in my case).

There is still the problem of replying to reply-to fields, however!
We have Replyall set in /usr/lib/Mail.rc which means that "reply"
doesn't reply to the Reply-To field, while "Reply" does!! If Replyall
isn't set, then the problem is "inverted". Aaarrghh!!
