Now that I finally got my UNIX-PC upgraded to the 3.5 system software which
supports flexnames, I have installed elm 2.1. But when I attempt to compose
outgoing mail, I run into a problem at the To: prompt. I want to enter
To: user@foobar
but it insists on interpreting the '@' as a line kill character, even though
I have escaped it with a backslash. Can anyone help me with this?

I sure do hope that you have changed your own line kill character with stty to something else that the old standard(?) character @. Otherwise could you have found a bug, but I would check your line kill character first if I were you. -- WHOAMI: Olof Backing EMAIL: WHERE: Royal Institute Of Technology, Stockholm obg@nada.kth.se SNAIL: Havrevagen 14, S-175 43 Jarfalla, Sweden VOICE: + 46 758 355 16

This is one of the things that is changed in 2.2, but until 2.2 is released
the only work around is to use a different line kill character.
May I suggest control/u, as alot of systems use that by default
anyway.
