You do: M-x apropos-variable RET mail address reply RET A buffer will pop up showing a few relevant variables. It will be easy to identify the one(s) you need to change. Note: I'm assuming Emacs 22 here. In previous version the command `apropos-variable' was not so smart as it's now and you have to do two searches: one for "mail reply" and another for "mail address". -- Emílio C.
