Elm's Filter program can be used to forward messages. When used in such a way, filter transforms the following header: From sun!uwvax!puff.cs.wisc.edu!jeff Date: some date From: jeff@puff.cs.wisc.edu (Jeff Public) Subject: something To: plocher@sun.com into Subject: "something" From: Filter of plocher@sun.com <plocher@sun.com> To: newperson@newmachine X-Filtered-by: Filter version xxx As I read RFC822 it *should* be doing this instead: Date: some date Resent-Date: date forwarded From: jeff@puff.cs.wisc.edu (Jeff Public) Resent-From: plocher@sun.com Resent-Sender: Filter program used by John Plocher <plocher@sun.com> Subject: something To: plocher@sun.com Resent-To: newperson@newmachine X-Filtered-by: Filter version xxx The questions: Do I understand things OK? Is the current Filter behavior correct? What will break if I try to recode filter to use the Resent- fields as shown in the last example? What is the answer to life, the universe, and everything? -John ps. Don't bother answering the last one - I know what the answer to *that* one because of my neat digital watch :-)

I have gotten over a dozen replies (mail and usenet) to my message. One suggested I join the elm development group (I did), another suggested using "deliver" since filter didn't do the right thing (I know that, but thanks for the pointer to "deliver")... Flame on BUT ***ALL*** the rest were stupid followups pertaining to the Hitchiker quote that I specifically said I didn't want answers to! Flame off Does ANYONE out here have anything useful to say about the use and misuse of Reply-xxx: headers? If you do, please reply. -John Plocher
