Is there an easy way to tell AMS applications to falsify my From: address for all network mail? I'd like the mail to appear as: From: pst@jessica.Stanford.EDU as opposed to From: pst+@ir.Stanford.EDU Paul

You can use the init file mechanism to set up a menu item like "Send with Reply-To" to add an appropriate Reply-To header, which probably isn't what you want. There's not a general mechanism for faking the From field, though -- in general we thought it was something that shouldn't be faked. There are options for how the return address is built, though, especially if you're using AMDS, and these might make you happy. They're documented under "help AndrewSetup". If you want to hack, the code is in ams/libs/ms/init.c -- what you're worried about is the definition of "MyPrettyAddress". Good luck. -- Nathaniel

You can cause Messages to add a Reply-to: header at send time that can have any address you want. One convenient way to do this is by making a new ``Send'' menu item that adds the new header just before sending. Why not have ir.stanford.edu forward your mail to jessica.stanford.edu? Craig
