Apologies, for some reason the 'reply to' header is not sent by the

It is my understanding that static builds on OS X are being phased-out  
on account of the Cocoa version of Qt requiring a menu menu nib file  
(among other things) that necessitates a framework. Therefore I was  
wondering if there is anything other than making static builds to  
reduce the size.
