If you're using Berkeley Mail, and you want your cc to go into
a file rather than to a user (such as yourself, if all you'll do
then is save it in a file), put in the file name with a /, e.g.
Cc: mail/joe
If you want it to go into a file in your current directory, use
Cc: ./joe
All this is documented, but some people may not have known about it.

If the recipient of such a msg replies using mail's *reply* command, they also try to mail to a file of the same pathname (unless they explicitly remove it from the Cc: line). Do people think these pathnames should be stripped out of outgoing msgs or left in? p.s. I know I could use Bcc but I don't.

I know I could use Bcc but I don't. What about the environment variables $folder and $record ? Also, look up the 'F' command, as opposed to the 'R' command, and the -F command line argument. I definitely miss Berkeley Mail. :-( MH-Mail has *major* problems. _____ |___| _|___|_ Snoopy \_____/ tektronix!mako!seifert \___/ If God had intended Man to Smoke, He would have set him on Fire. -the fortune AI project

You not only send yourself the copies of needed letters, but also to the needed folders. (In order this to work, you must set the "folder" variable; and this is also documented.) -- yOOn {ihnp4|decvax}!sun!yoonkim

The following change (which might be considered a bug fix) will cause Mail to treat all "file" recipients as "bcc:", i.e., their names will not appear on outgoing mail, thus preventing the awkward situation of someone "replying" to a file... *** /tmp/,RCSt1002644 Fri Apr 5 15:28:29 1985 --- def.h Fri Apr 5 13:47:35 1985 *************** *** 125,131 #define GSUBJECT 2 /* Likewise, Subject: line */ #define GCC 4 /* And the Cc: line */ #define GBCC 8 /* And also the Bcc: line */ ! #define GMASK (GTO|GSUBJECT|GCC|GBCC) /* Mask of places from whence */ #define GNL 16 /* Print blank line after */ --- 125,131 ----- #define GSUBJECT 2 /* Likewise, Subject: line */ #define GCC 4 /* And the Cc: line */ #define GBCC 8 /* And also the Bcc: line */ ! #define GMASK (GTO|GSUBJECT|GCC|GBCC|GDEL) /* Mask of places from whence */ #define GNL 16 /* Print blank line after */
