Minor enhancement about simple-java-mail HOT 6 CLOSED

Hello and thank you, but I'm not sure I understand, though!

I can see how getting a pre-configured reply email by using mimeMessage.reply() 
is useful, having set the to-address, from-address and subject with an added 
"RE: ", but is that what you meant? It seems you are suggesting getting and 
setting a String value 'replyTo', which I don't quite understand the need for; 
you could just use replyEmail.addRecipient(RecipientType.TO, fromAddress) with 
whatever value you like.

Please elaborate.

Sorry.  Obviously wasn't clear there.  SMTP and indeed javamail support a 
header "replyTo" which is used as the return path by SMTP servers over the 
original from address if present. 

This sounds a bit pointless, but is quite useful in the case of software 
applications which send email.  For example, we have an examination application 
which sends out notifications by email from "[email protected]".  
Sometimes, the email address put in by the exam centre are wrong, so the email 
bounces. 

By default, the email would bounce to the [email protected] address 
which isn't monitored, whereas we actually want bounces to go back to the user 
who entered the candidates details. To do this we set the replyTo header to the 
correct address.  

See http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/mail/usingjavamail.html where it 
says "You can set a "reply to" address using the setReplyTo() method.".  This 
is also supported in Commons Email so just have a look at the code and you'll 
see where it applies.

Hopefully that clears up the confusion.

Ahh, I understand now. I think I actually use this feature with my gMail 
account, where I use my gmail account to send mail but reply-to I use my own 
domain address, which forwards to gmail (so that I'm not depending on gmail's 
availability).

I'll add this as soon as possible.

I've comitted the changes. I still need to test it before making a release.

No problem.  I don't actually "need" this but thought that the library was so 
nice and clean, it would be daft for it to be missing such a simple feature to 
implement!  Hopefully, might get to use this library in our next project

Included in release 1.9
