Sorry if this has been discused before, but I'm new to this group. I've recently been trying to get the ELM filter system to work. On the whole, things work OK - the filter picks out the right messages and puts them in the right places. But it doesn't store them in mailbox format, so ELM can't read them. Is this a common problem? Any ideas? Thanks very much, Ian Edmond

Is this a common problem? Any ideas? I've found this problem too. I can't quite remember the cause, but I know I had to modify filter to add an extra header line to the mail it was saving in folders. I think it was the 'From' (Not 'From:') line that was missing. Does Elm 2.3 pl 11 fix this? -- Richard Thombs Lucas Powertrain Systems, Mail: rst@eg.lucasauto.co.uk Phoenix Way, Phone: +44 285 657981 x233 Cirencester, GL7 1QG, Fax: +44 285 658258 (G3) England.

Does >Elm 2.3 pl 11 fix this? Yes, this is exactly the problem I was having. Can anyone tell me how to reistate that missing 'From' line?
