There is a reference in Pnews.header.SH and there is | a reference in one of the .h files, as I recall. This will cause rn to | generate proper Reply-To: addresses. +--------------- Actually, I finally found the problem. I'm SOOOO embarrassed! :-( I had changed every occurrence of .UUCP in rn, Pnews.header, nd everywhere else I could find in the rn distribution. No change -- my postings still insisted on claiming "allbery@ncoast.UUCP". Aack. A few days ago, I edited my .rnrc (my $RNINIT points to $HOME/.rnrc) to add some options (-t -v). While I was there, I noticed my $NEWSHEADER line, added to implement escapes to select a single newsgroup to Followup-To:. Guess what? "...Reply-To: %L@%H.UUCP..." (well, case optional...) I changed it to %L@NCoast.ORG, and all is now well. Sigh. Anyone got a brick wall I can bash my head against? ;-) :-( ++Brandon -- Brandon S.
