I am using the filter program to sort my mail. Sample entry: if (from = "root@") then savecopy /u7/dd/Mail/rootmgrs.%y.%m if (from = "dklingl@") then savecopy /u7/dd/Mail/seds.%y.%m if (from = "T10003@") then savecopy /u7/dd/Mail/IBM_systems_programmers.%y.%m For some unknown reason, when filter hands it off to sendmail, sendmail seems to think that it is from a UUCP site, and puts on that stupid UUCP header in the From line: From datkins@ariel.unm.edu Tue May 29 15:51:25 1990 remote from ariel.unm.edu The remote nonsense is really ugly, sendmail's source say so too... And I'll have to fix it, but the big problem comes when I try to read the folder with elm. Elm does not view this as a valid mail separator, and when it finds a blank line followed by a From of the above example, it does not see it as a new mail message and keeps on going as if it were part of the last message. Is this a bug in elm? Should it really try to parse the From line and if it doesn't understand it, go on as if it didn't exist? How can I get around this problem? Thanks for any suggestions. Steve.
