Description

Redmine outgoing email does not provide a reply-to header. Many email relays which require a user-id/pw login (e.g. smtp.gmail.com) replace the sender@domain with the user-id of the login account. Consequently, when the receiver replies to the email, it goes to the login user-id and domain, rather than the sender user@domain set by redmine where the issue originated.

This patch provides a check-box in the email-notifications settings which, when set, causes redmine to provide a reply-to header identical to the sender (user@domain). This allows replies to be routed to the redmine instance where they originated, and be incorporated into the issue.
