First of all, i would like to sincerely thank you for continuing to work on this wonderful product! it is completely invaluable to me as i assist small businesses in their communications..

In reference to PR #1031 it would be great if we could, either through config file or through UI, disable the prepending of 'Test' to subject, and the alteration of reply-to email

This is definitely not a priority issue, but it would be nice..

Thank You again so very much for all your work!

I guess we can add a "feature flag" to disable it. At the same time, isn't it useful to get used to this new functionality? I think it's actually quite useful that you don't accidentally send out a test email as a real campaign. Additionally, the Reply-To allows for immediately feedback to the author of the campaign from their "boss" or someone else.

FWIW I like (test) as a reminder that it is just that. Happy for others to gain an 'off' switch though.

What I am not so convinced about is the Reply To - because the person using our system doesn't login with their own email. Just a generic user. So anyone replying will end up seeing it buried in admin or somewhere.

There should be an optional box down near the "Send Test Email" line so it can be sent to user X, and reply to user Y (if required). Or something similar.
