This is OK, thanks.

It does not work.

In fact, what I'm trying to achieve is:
set reply-to to the active user-mail-address,
whenever I start composing a new message.
(or a reply, or a follow-up)
So that if I change user-mail-address while
vm is open, and then I compose a new message,
this new message has already a right reply-to
field in its header.

Thanks a lot,
