[comp.mail.elm] elm isn't making a copy of sent mail

dwatts@ki.UUCP (Dan Watts) (03/13/91)

  I don't know if I found a bug or if my version of elm [2.3 PL11] is
  compiled wrong.  I've been seeing that elm wasn't saving a copy of
  my outgoing email but haven't until recently tracked down exactly
  when it occurs.  I just found out how to reproduce the problem.

  If from within the main elm menu (set to user level intermediate)
  I select "m" to mail a letter, that outgoing email won't be saved.
  If I run "elm user" from the shell, that email is saved as well as
  when I use "r" to reply to email.

  Has anyone else seen this or know where in the source I should go
  looking?

  The relevant lines from my elmrc file:

# where to save copies of outgoing mail to, default file is "=sent"
sentmail = =sent

# save a copy of all outbound messages?
copy = ON
