Please forgive a possible FAQ, but we are having trouble incorporating X400 addresses into an elm alias file. The reason appears to be that the addresses contain a plethora of = characters, which also happens to be the separator between alias, full name, and address in the alias file. The parsing algorithm evidently uses the first and last = in the line to separate the three fields, thus screwing up the address thoroughly. Any suggestions? -- Soren Larsen / larsen@imada.ou.dk Dept. of Math. & Computer Science, Odense University Campusvej 55, DK-5230 Odense M, Denmark phone: +45 66 15 86 00, ext. 2312 / telefax: +45 65 93 26 91

This subject has indeed discussed recently in this newsgroup and the problems are possibly fixed in ELM version 2.4. There's is one (very unofficial) elm patch available from nic.funet.fi with anonymous ftp (directory /pub/unix/mail/elm, file(s) elm-2.3.-quotepatch.tar.Z) but it probably doesn't fix your problem.
