[comp.mail.elm] ELM reply address problem

don@grce (Donald D. Woelz) (06/21/91)

I am having a problem with ELM reply addresses.  I recognize that
this could very well be due to the way I have configured ELM at my
site and my ignorance of how mail headers are defined and used, but
I don't see what I have done wrong at this point.  Some help would
be appreciated.

When replying to a mail message from someone on the local machine,
ELM is using the From: header field to get the return address.  A
typical From: header field might look like this:

From: don <don@grc>

The return reply uses the address in angle brackets which is then
interpreted by ELM to be a remote machine and ELM therefor uses the
remote signature.  This is the crux of the problem.  I would like it
to use the local signature because it is indeed a local address.

How can I change this behaviour?

Your help is much appreciated.
