[comp.mail.elm] Warning when using ~/.elm/elmheaders

jdeitch@jadpc.cts.com (Jim Deitch) (03/03/91)

I just had a pretty neat (embarassing, expensive, stupid ...)
experience with the elmheaders file feature of ELM.

I was reading about the elmheaders file, and sometimes like a return
receipt, when reporting bugs, fixes, etc., so I put it into my
elmheaders file.  It worked flawlessly until a couple of days ago.  I
posted mail to a mailing list, and I have in the last 3 days gotten
back about 250 return receipts.  Seems that the elmheaders file did
it's job.  Before I posted the mail I checked under headers and didn't
even see the new header line listed.  It seems to be added AFTER I tell elm
to send the mail.  Is there any way to make the new header appear
BEFORE elm sends the mail.  I would have deleted the header line if I would
have seen it.

Jim
