Thanks to fhg@mace.cc.purdue.edu (James F. Blake) for explaining how to make Elm automatically include special headers in messages. It's easy! Just create a ".elm/elmheaders" file containing the headers you want to be included. i.e. Organization: Some Company -- Bill Heiser Work: heiser@tdw201.ed.ray.com {decuac,necntc,uunet}!rayssd!tdw201!heiser Home: Bill.Heiser@f240.n322.z1.fidonet.org (Fidonet 1:322/240) The Think_Tank BBS (508)655-3848 1200/2400/9600-HST Other: 75106.2332@compuserve.com Other: heiser@world.std.com (Public Access Unix)
