Does anyone know the method whereby I might save a copy of outgoing mail in the case of multiple addressees in a folder for each addressee name? For example, if I send mail to: joe, jane, bob, betty, sid, sharon I will presently only get a copy saved to the 'joe' folder if it exists. I want to save a copy in each folder, not just the lead addressee's. Is this possible? If so, how should I implement it? Many thanks,

This too could be solved by either using a simple Filter solution (include yourself as an addressee using an alias) using one rule for each addressee in conjunction with that alias if (to contains "myalias" and to contains "joe" ) then save "/myhome/maildir/joe" if (to contains "myalias" and to contains "jane" ) then save "/myhome/maildir/jane" and so on. You could also set up an Smail or Sendmail alias instead of an Elm alias, and have that not only mail the file to each user but save a copy in each folder. I, too, would like to have Elm do everything for me. But the fact is that given the tools avialable to us in a *IX environment, there are many options and it is often possible to combine tools to produce the results we want. A little creativity is all that's needed! Or you could join the Elm Development Group, figure out how to make our favorite Mail User Agent do these things, and earn the undying gratitude of your USENET brothers and sisters! -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ : Steven List @ Transact Software, Inc. :^>~ : : Chairman, Unify User Group of Northern California : : itkin@Transact.COM :
