I don't know, I use pine, and when I go to reply to a message it goes
through the following steps of questions it asks me: 

first it asks me if I want to include the original message in the reply, 

then it asks me "Use 'Reply-to:' instead of 'From:' address?" 

then it asks me "Reply to all recipients?"

I just want to know one thing.  What is an "AOLs"? did you mean ALSO? as
in ME-TOO? or is this just some term I do not know?
