You know, it would be nice if the REPLYTO kludge was
picked up when trying to reply to the message via
netmail.
I think that is your reader's or bbs's duty. ;)
It could be, I'm not blaming any program in particular.
But if the REPLYTO kludge is required, it should be used.
I'm replying within Mystic. I might look into other
options later. Actually I'm sure that I will.
OpenXP uses the REPLYTO as expected.Unfortunately, I don't think OpenXP is compatible with my
setup. Or at least I haven'tt managed to get it to run
yet.

The REPLYTO is a suggested method to implement a reply when the
original message crosses network channels/gateways.
See FSC-0035 at ftsc.org.

Mystic is still relatively young. Maybe the developer can be
encouraged to add support for REPLYTO. It was done in OpenXP
not long after I brought up the matter.

OpenXP might complicate your BBS-in-a-Pocket project. Since
OpenXP is a point program, you would need to configure Mystic to
build packets for OpenXP to pick up. Then you would have a double-database of messages. :( Do you really want that?
Sounds like native support for REPLYTO would be better, indeed.
