[Typo3-dev] Return-Path in Direct Mail

Hi!

While fighting with direct mail, I stumbled accross the fact that
setting a 'Return-Path' in the module configuration didn't have any
effect.

I tracked this down, and the entry *is* used to set a Return-Path
header. But this obviously gets overwritten by sendmail again.

It might be better to add the use of a fifth parameter to the calls to
mail() in the htmlmailer class function sendTheMail() that adds
'-f$this->returnPath', if it is set.

*But*: "This fifth parameter was added in PHP 4.0.5. Since PHP 4.2.3
this parameter is disabled in safe_mode and the mail() function will
expose a warning message and return FALSE if you're trying to use it."

Thoughts?

Karsten
