Hello, I'm using MH (via X10.4) and I often use the ' Return-Receipt-To' entry in my messages; when there are multiple addressees how can I match the different acknoledge I receive with the individuals in the original distribution list ? Thanx a lot for your help, Chris Lotito / Grenoble Network Division Lab /

(btw, I had to use an old version of post to get the message id in the Fcc copy.) It then constructs an ACK: ... line using From: and Reply-to: from the receipt to identify the acknowledging host and appends it to the original message. With an occasional exception, I only get one receipt per host even if that host is getting copies for several individuals. I have to match the ACK and To/Cc fields by eye to make sure everyone has acknowledged. The manual page for mhook talks about "built-in" variables named $(sender), $(info), and $(reply-to), but I've never been able to get anything that tried to use them to work. Does anyone out there have a .maildelivery setup that does? -- Bob <Munck@MITRE.ORG>, linus!munck.UUCP -- MS Z676, MITRE Corporation, McLean, VA 22120 -- 703/883-6688
