Terminal? No, you can just set it in the preferences, but if as someone
else said on here, it was like google, you can set your reply-to to
whatever you want, but google will take it out and replace it with your
gmail address.

That's not completely true. If you have a gmail account you can
configure it to use a different address but it does have to be an
address you control. When you set this up gmail will send an email to
the address you use. The mail has a link in it which you use to confirm
that the email has been delivered.

Oh heck, it does sound complicated. Things used to be so simple. Still
are, I suppose, unless you use a funny-wunny mail server like Sky,
assuming that's what it does.

That feature is apparently not available to the Google apps version of
Gmail used by VM, can't say if that's true of Sky's version.
