When I started mush this morning, there was one lone message in my system mailbox; here are its headers: +--------- | From paul@pro-europa.cts.com Mon Aug 21 05:40:51 1989 | Received: by devon.LNS.PA.US (5.61/smail2.5/03-12-89) | id AA02720; Mon, 21 Aug 89 05:40:38 EDT | Received: from ucsd.UUCP by rutgers.edu (5.59/SMI4.0/RU1.2/3.04) with UUCP | id AA08979; Mon, 21 Aug 89 03:26:10 EDT | Received: from nosc.UUCP by ucsd.edu; id AA21521 | sendmail 5.61/UCSD-1.0 via UUCP | Sun, 20 Aug 89 23:57:58 -0700 for devon!paul | Received: by trout.nosc.mil (5.59/1.27) | id AA01985; Sun, 20 Aug 89 23:12:25 PDT | Message-Id: <8908210612.AA01985@trout.nosc.mil> | Received: by crash.cts.com (smail2.5) | id AA00150; 20 Aug 89 17:36:00 PDT (Sun) | Date: Sat, 19 Aug 89 09:34:31 CDT | From: paul@pro-europa.cts.com (Paul Hutmacher) | To: devon!paul | Subject: Imagewriter clones +--------- However, the list of messages showed this to be from (ie, the %n value): TO: devon!paul and not paul@pro-europa.cts.com. I take it that the code for evaluating the %n value doesn't look at the whole From: header, but just the userid. Perhaps %n is derived from the "From_" header. Note the syntax of the one in the above message -- this is how messages look when they come to me from my Internet forwarding site (rutgers). - paul -- INTERNET: paul@devon.LNS.PA.US | How many whales do you have to UUCP: ...!rutgers!devon!paul | save to get a toaster?

It seems to be looking at either the FullName part of the 1st N characters of
the username...I get mail with headers like this that does the same thing:

Note that his username is 'scottk' not 'scott', but it still comes up as
TO: Scott Blachowicz
It ought to be using the alts list, but the comparison seems imperfect anyway.
Oh yeah, I'm running Mush 6.5.6.

Efficiency in the header-summary-generation code constrains us to avoid testing every From: address against the alternates list, but an additional test of that list when the current username matches should catch most of the currently-incorrect cases. It'll still fail if you use "alts *", which in effect tells mush that your user name is unique in all the world. Those with logins like "argv" can afford such assumptions. ;-> -- Bart Schaefer "And if you believe that, you'll believe anything." -- DangerMouse CSNET / Internet schaefer@cse.ogc.edu UUCP ...{sequent,tektronix,verdix}!ogccse!schaefer
