I have just compiled succesfully Elm 2.1. It runs nice and smooth. Now to the minor problem. I'm using it with Smail 2.5. Smail makes a From_line that has 'remote from <host>' at the end of that line. Obviously does that make Elm not to recognize the beginning of a new mail and there for Elm says that I have 1 new mail no matter how many new mails there might be. So I wounder if you I'm about to blaim - Elm or Smail? You better tell me, because I can patch one of them but I don't feel that's the correct way of handeling the problem. So what do you suggest me to do? -- 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

You might try changing the "USE_EMBEDDED_ADDRESSES" definition in Elm's config.h program. Also, it would be of help if you posted a sample of your mail file so we can see what the headers look like. -- Greg

As Greg says: >You might try changing the "USE_EMBEDDED_ADDRESSES" definition in >Elm's config.h program. > I have tried to turn that thing off, but that doesn't solve the problem. I do still get '0 read mail' or whatever it says at startup. Although it counts every From:-line in the mail except for the first one after the line with 'From obg ..... remote from <host>'. -- 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
