Bug#346260: exim4: autoreply problem with $reply_address and non-7bit chars

[Andreas Edler]

Hello Marc <mh+debian-packages at zugschlus.de>,

> ${reply_address} is the header line Reply-To or From. to= in the
> transport is the envelope recipient, which doesn't take descriptions
> and/or comments.
> 
> Maybe the "address" expansion operator can help:

> ${address:<string>}
>     The string is interpreted as an RFC 2822 address, as it might appear in a
>     header line, and the effective address is extracted from it. If the string
>     does not parse successfully, the result is empty.
> 
> So, probably to = "${address:$reply_address}" or the respective
> syntactically correct item can help here. I cannot try it myself since
> I am too lazy to build a test configuration from the snippets you have
