Dear all, A user at my site has a problem with setenv NAME 'given name'. It seems that our mailx and ELM [both built in and 2.3 PL11] cannot pick it up as the given MAIL name of his account. Anyone have this problem and if so what's the solution? Shahryar 'My words fly up, my thoughts remain below. Words without thoughts never to heaven go.' Hamlet--Act III--scene iii

Have you tried LOGNAME ? This is the env. variable which works om my system (though only a few of my students use mailx and elm; being at UCI we obviously prefer mh). Hardy Mayer ----****---- Professor Meinhard E. Mayer Department of Physics University of California Irvine, CA, 92717 USA
