Hi there,

I've just noticed a very annoying thing about ELM 2.2 PL10. The
situation is as follows:

since we have local aliasas for our internal mail (handled by
smail 2.5), mail to user xxx (from inside the Co.) is to 'x' (his
local alias), while mail from him has his logname (xxx) in the 
From:-line.

Wanting to save both in the same folder, I link ~/Mail/xxx to
~/Mail/x, which seems to work fine as long as I save messages
sent to my by xxx, ie. I see them in both folders -> the link
remains. BUT: when I send to the person (using 'M'ail), elm saves
the message in one of the folders (namely ~/Mail/x) and destroys
the link to the other !-(.

Can this be considered a bug worth fixing? It certainly bothers a
lot of people around here.
