Can someone tell me how to set reply-to in /bin/mail?

Can someone tell me how to set reply-to in /bin/mail?

am 29.01.2006 06:53:00 von no_email

I'm sending from a linux bash script, something like this:

/bin/mail -s "$subject" "$recipients" < file_with_message_body

I've tried putting in

reply-to:
Reply-to:
From:

....and several other permutations followed by what I want as the reply-to address, but this just shows up in the body of the message.

Help!

In a temp file ~/temp.txt

From: me@example.com
To: someone@example.com
Reply-to: somewhere@example.net
Subject: Whatever

Test message body


Then in your script:
/bin/cat ~/temp.txt |/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -f ${LOGNAME}@${HOSTNAME} -t

Set the environment variable REPLYTO to a valid address, either before
you run the script or in the script itself, before the mail command, e.g.

REPLYTO=fred@example.net
