I have a problem with the name that goes out on my mail. It goes out as
"janet lafler" (no caps). In my elmrc the full name for outgoing mail is
set as "Janet Lafler" (with caps). Does anyone have a clue how this could
be? Please e-mail me if you have any suggestions, since I don't generally
read this newsgroup.
Thanks.

The fullname value in the elmrc perhaps was meant to override the gcos field of the passwd entry. -- Rob Bernardo Mt. Diablo Software Solutions email: rob@mtdiablo.Concord.CA.US phone: (415) 827-4301
