hmmm - you may need to write something then to do a server side hack.

What you need to do is to examine each email on the way in and store
the "to:" field and "Message-ID:" header.

On replies, examine the "In-Reply-To:" and look it up against the
stored Message-ID from step 1, to get the origional address the mail
was sent to.  Use that information to customise the message.

Not hard to do in principle, but you need a way of interfering with
the flow of mail.  If you have a bit of money, and a perl hacker,
then Communicate pro the mail server supports this kind of
deviousness, and there is a script called cgpsa out there (which is
basically a spamassassin wrapper) that does all the work of
interfacing and could be modified to do the above stuff.

Another possibility is the mail processing platform, MPP, but I have
never been able to tell from the website if it can run an arbitary
script on a message, or just the ones that mpp supply.

Finally, I guess the cannonical answer is procmail and a couple of
scripts, but procmail always scares me...
