Looking over the ELM documentation I can't seem to find how I would force the program to always include a valid "Reply-to:" header without my having to specify it. Can someone E-mail me the solution to this? I'm sure it must be possible (most everything else is with ELM). -- Michael R.

[ I'm posting this, as it wasn't easy for me to find either ] In your elm directory, (~/.elm) create a file called elmheaders. In that file, you can add lines like: Reply-To: jeff@quark.WV.TEK.COM Organization: Tektronix Inc, Wilsonville, Or. [ I've indented the lines a space to make sure that nobody's news software goes out to lunch. ] You can also include things like: X-Internet-Address: `/bin/hostid` Best of luck, -Jeff -- Jeff Beadles Utek Sustaining Engineering, Tektronix Inc. jeff@quark.WV.TEK.COM Elm development group.

But: Does ELM use the "Reply-to:" if I want to reply to a mail. I am using ELM 2.2 PL0 and tested it. The result is that my replies were always sent to the adress given in the "From:"-entry and not the adress given in the "Reply-to:" header. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard Czech richard%unidocv@unido.uucp Department of Computer Science I University of Dortmund PO Box 500 500 D-4600 Dortmund 50 West Germany ----------------------------------------------------------------------

(The header should be "Reply-To:". Note the upper case "T".)
Yes, ELM does use the "Reply-To:". When ELM is configured, there is
a choice between relying on the "From:" and "Reply-To:" headers to
get the return address of a message, or else on the "From " lines.
If configured to use the former, ELM will use the "Reply-To:" if
present, else the "From:".

The >result is that my replies were always sent to the adress given in the >"From:"-entry and not the adress given in the "Reply-to:" header. I ask myself the same question. But, more importantly, even if I specify a "Reply-To" header in .elm/elmheaders it does not show up in the header when I type 'h' before sending off the mail. In fact, if I type 'r' to edit the "Reply-To" header I end up with *two* such lines (possibly different!). Likewise, if I add another header line such as "Organization" in the elmheaders file this line is also not shown with the 'h' command. I consider this a bug in my version of elm (2.2 PL10). ^ Bo Thide'-------------------------------------------------------------- | | Swedish Institute of Space Physics, S-755 91 Uppsala, Sweden |I| [In Swedish: Institutet f|r RymdFysik, Uppsalaavdelningen (IRFU)] |R| Phone: (+46) 18-403000.
