I'm new to using Elm (but not electronic mail or UNIX) and I have a few
questions. If anyone out there in net.land can help me I'd sure appreciate
it. Here they are:

0) How do I get it to always save outgoing mail in just one file (rather
   than the default of saving messages by the receipient's name)?
   (And, why doesn't "savebyname = OFF" seem to work?)

1) Can I change the various prompts? If so, how?

2) How do I get it to delete my default (system) mailbox when it's
   empty?

3) How to I turn off the deletion-confirmation question?
   (alwaysdelete only changes the default in this question, it doesn't
   turn the question off)

4) How do I get elm to NOT use my signature on local mail?
   (I played with localsig and remotesig but couldn't seem to get it
   to do "the right thing", specifically: NO signature at all on local
   mail and my .signature (or whatever) or remote mail)

5) How do I remap keys for my personal use ONLY?
   (I haven't seen anything that indicates this can be done but it
   would be nice)(No, I'm not volunteering to hack the sources to do
   it)


Since this is being posted for me by a friend (my newsfeed is dead), please
send all answers to me via EMAIL and I promise to summarize (I'll have my
friend post the summary as well). Thanx.
