Major problem with a default header configuration

Ok, so I have mostly solved my problems with the configuration of a
second pine account. Which I plainly did manually in the end.

Now I have address AAA and BBB, and I would like to set Reply-To to
both. Now I had set Reply-To as an additional header quite a lot of
time ago, rarely if ever actually using it. Today I tried adding the
addresses - in several different ways either through M S C or editing
.pinerc directly. NO WAY. One works, and is retained, the other one is
pushed to the following line and interpreted as an header and thus
ignored. Even if I put it on the same line in .pinerc, the second one
is ignored.

Though, if I leave the configuration as is, I can add the addresses
manually while composing, and it works like a charm. I JUST CAN'T SET
THEM AS A DEFAULT. (Which is what I reasonably want.) Any workaround
or solution? If that is not possible, I would call it a bug...

No idea yet?

avesse dato al fabbro predappiano
invece della fica il deretano,
l'avrebbe presa in culo quella sera
Rosa sola e non l'Italia intera.

I can set two addresses using a rule without any problem. I suppose
it's possible to use a rule by default?

How about if you add an addressbook entry with a nickname of replyto and
give that entry the two addresses, then use

Reply-To: replyto

in your Customized headers?

I already have the entry, and that's what I use to manually add it. I
hadn't though of "inlining" it. I'm trying ASAP.

To be fair, I know nothing 'bout rules. I'll read something asap.

To be precise I should have been talking about a 'role' which is a
special kind of a 'rule'.

It did work!! Why didn't anybody tell me it would've been that simple?

Actually, the address book entry trick suggested by another user did
work perfectly well. But I'm reading about roles and rules anyway.
