Hi,

  The mutt man page says that it supports the -b, -c and -s flags.  It also
says that the REPLYTO environment variable can be used to specify the default
reply-to address.  This leads me to believe you could use mutt as a mailx
replacement in your scripts by setting the REPLYTO variable prior to each
invocation of mutt.
