Hi there! I enjoy using Elm, but I developed my own system for filing my mail. Basically, I have a directory for incoming letters and a directory for outgoing letters, and both are saved under the name of the sender/recipient (logically, nothing that comes to me is saved under 'david'!). In the Elm setup, I can specify 'forcename=on' to save under the person's name, but Elm likes to put both incoming and outgoing mail together. Is there a 'sentmail=some.directory' option that I can specify when I use this? I see that Elm uses my incoming dir... Right now, I do most of my mailing via transmission of previously created files, so it doesn't make a great deal of difference (Elm doesn't tack on the output in that case), but now that I can use vi instead of mail's line editor, I would just as soon go ahead and do it from Elm. But we're back to the problem of where to store the outgoing letter-- I want it under mail/out! Rather than tie up the bandwidth with a huge letter explaining everything in excruciating detail, I will instead mail that long letter to anyone interested enough in trying to help me to wade through it all. Since I unfortunately don't have access to news right now, replies should come in via internet email if possible or bitnet mail if not. Thanks bunches!! David PS-- I can't seem to get that darned archive server to work. Could someone just mail me the 6 patches for Elm 2.3? Thank you!!!!!
