I am running an archive server system and i get a lot of mail from all over the world, for some reason elm is pulling out an incorrect To: address from the following mail message; ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rex!brownm@hamlet.local Wed May 30 19:25:49 1990 Received: from [128.109.200.6] by rex.cs.tulane.edu; Tue, 29 May 90 10:26:53 -0500 Received: by hamlet.local (5.57/Ultrix3.0-C) id AA18749; Tue, 29 May 90 11:20:31 EDT From: rex!brownm@hamlet.acc.uncg.edu (Michael L.

Brown)" it is getting the mail address from the From_ line, and the name from the From: line. Do I have elm configured wrong or what? It sure would be nice to be able to do a mass reply to a number of tagged articles. I know this was discussed be for, and i stopped following that thread when the general consensus was that is was a horrible awful thing to do. Right now i tag the articles, save them to a file, and them use the system mail command to do the mass reply. Is there a better way?

Depending on how Elm is configured whether or not it will believe
the From: lines. If you configure Elm to use the Reply-To: and
From: lines it will beleive them. If you configure it not to,
it will use the From line. However, something is wrong with your
MTA if the From line is not a proper address. The From line should
always work, just perhaps not be optimal.
