new reply email from "reply to address"

[btappan]

When new replies are made to one of a users subsribed threads they get an email with that new reply in it if they have "instant email notification" set for their thread subscription. Is there any way to make the reply to address of that notification be the emaill address of that user who replied? Right now when you click reply to one of these notifications, the email client uses the forum administrator's email address, I have been getting a lot of emails from users trying to reply to other users newreply email notifications and want to end having to forward them on.

somebody??

Well i think there are a lot of considerations about this:
- Only the first reply to a subscribed thread is being mailed, no others will be send until you have visited the forum again, so you could miss a lot of replies if you only rely on the subscription mails.
- Not everybody want their mail address to be known to other members
- The mail address which is sending the mail end the reply address would be different. This is triggering a lot of spam filters.
- The whole meaning of a bulletin board is for members to interact with each other. If all is handled through privat mails, there is not much of a reason left to have a bulletin board.

And i guess others can even think of a lot more reasons not to want this.
