Closes #47. Part of #79.

sendMail had no replyTo, so a transactional send's stored Reply-To (and an organization grant's) never reached the recipient.

  • sendMail sends replyTo; the transactional worker passes the row's value.
  • Team ESPs get an optional reply-to (column, REST, MCP, ESP dialog), used for broadcasts, sequences, tests and transactional sends without their own. Organization grants fall back to their ESP's reply-to. Migration 0012.
  • Docs: sending settings.

Testing

  • Unit: campaign send uses the ESP reply-to; worker sends stored reply-to and text.
  • Browser E2E: set a reply-to in the ESP dialog (persists, ESP stays active); broadcast tests carry it; transactional sends use their own replyTo, else the ESP's; clearing it removes the header.

POST /sequences/:id/emails/:emailId/test (and the MCP tool
send_sequence_email_test) renders the email exactly like a real send,
through the delivery source the send would use, with a [Test] subject.
It defaults to the signed-in user, takes up to five addresses, skips
suppressed ones and is capped at 50 recipients per team per hour.

Tracking tokens carry a contact id that matches nobody and the
unsubscribe link uses a test token whose page explains it was a test.
The email records lastTestSentAt. The broadcast editor and the
full-screen email editor get a Send test dialog.

The per-recipient render pipeline moves to mail/campaign.ts so real and
test sends share it.

Refs #34, #79
Every send now carries a text/plain alternative generated from the final
HTML (links as "text (url)", bulleted lists, no images, styles or
preheader), or the caller's own text for transactional sends (new
optional `text`, stored on the row).

Marketing emails link a hosted web version from the managed footer, also
available as the {{ view_in_browser_url }} merge tag. GET /view/:token
serves it for the signed recipient with their merge data and no
tracking, as a sandboxed document. The editor default no longer starts
with a plain "View in browser" line that linked nowhere.
