Summary: MAPI support for PR_REPLY_RECIPIENT_ENTRIES

Initial Comment:
I was able to replace most of my existing C++ based sendmail.exe program with a Python script using pythoncom.mapi. 
Great work!
However, I am not able to specify a different Reply-To address, because the mapi package does not support the FLATENTRY and FLATENTRYLIST structures.
Note: Working C++ code for specifying a different Reply-To address can be found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/300531

Message:
OK, as a workaround it is possible to modify the reply-to address with a
bit low-level code (see below). So, my problem is solved. Anyway, perhaps
this could be a nice addition to the mapiutil package.

code fragment to set the replyTo-Address

    def makeentry(typ, name_addr):
      return ((mapitags.PR_RECIPIENT_TYPE, typ),
              #(mapitags.PR_DISPLAY_NAME_A, name_addr),
              (mapitags.PR_DISPLAY_NAME_W, name_addr),
             )
                      
    # ReplyTo-Address
    if replyTo:
        # replyTo is a unicode string
        replyToList = address_book.ResolveName(0, mapi.MAPI_UNICODE, None,
[makeentry(mapi.MAPI_TO, replyTo)])
        props = [(mapitags.PR_REPLY_RECIPIENT_NAMES, replyTo),
                ]
        message.SetProps(props)
        replyToAddr = replyToList[0]
        for (pt, pv) in replyToAddr:
            if pt == mapitags.PR_ENTRYID:
                entryid = pv
                break
        #print "reply-to entryid (len %s): %r" % (len(entryid), entryid)
        flatentry = struct.pack("i", len(entryid)) + entryid
        #print "flatentry:", repr(flatentry)
        flatentrylist = struct.pack("ii", 1, len(flatentry)) + flatentry
        props = [              
                 (mapitags.PR_REPLY_RECIPIENT_ENTRIES, flatentrylist),
                ]
        message.SetProps(props)
