     I am a relative newcomer to ELM, and think it is a great program.  I think
the problem I am having is one of not quite having everything setup properly,
yet.  When I use ELM to send a message, the message will arrive fine, but the
reply will be broken.  Thus, a message from "abc" to "xyz" will get to "xyz",
but when "xyz" tries to reply, ELM sends the reply out to "anonymous".   The
problem is on the sending end of ELM, however, since a message sent by ELM
and read by regular "mail" will show the message as having come from anonymous
instead of the actual sender.  
     What am I doing wrong, or forgetting?  I tried changing "d_usembed", then
re-compiling, but that was before I realized it was the sending that was having
the problem not the receiving, so that didn't help.  I tried turning of "weed",
but that didn't change anything, either.  So far, the only thing that WILL work
is manually putting something in the "Reply-To:" field of the header before the
message is sent.  Is there a way to fill in the "Reply-To:" field automatically?
     I'm using ELM on a 286 system, with SCO xenix, and the regular mailer from
SCO.  Is this a problem I need to fix in ELM, or do I need to change from "mail"
to "smail" (or other)?
