[comp.mail.elm] Problems with mailing forms with a ~/.elm/elmheaders file ...

	Hello again,

	In addition to the problem that I was having with filter 
(please search for filter), I also can't mail forms when I have some 
customized headers defined in ~/.elm/elmheaders.  I can work with forms 
just fine when there is no such file, but when the file is there, and not of 
0 length, elm treats the forms as a notmal mail  message.  The only thing 
I can think of off hand is if elm only looks to see if the top line 
after the blank line that is inserted following the system defined headers
is 
WIDTH=78
 
which is the first line of the [OPTIONS-SECTION], as specified in the Forms 
guide.

If the instance that there exists a ~/.elm/elmheaders file (that has length 
greater than 0), this file will be appended first.

	If you have any clues, feel free to respond,
	greg

BTW, I'm running elm2.3 PL8 on hpux 7.0 B.  But this version of elm is running 
on PMAXex and VAXes with the same result, I believe.

	Thanks again,
	greg
