I apologize in advance if I am overly (or underly) wordy in what follows; I don't have a good enough under- standing of mailers to know what might be or not be important. My site is muleshu, uid dstein, he is tcomeng, uid daryl, Me ELM 2.2 PL14, him ELM 2.2 PL1. Basically, all incoming mail from him shows up at my system as coming from uid uucp-Admin(0000). [I am running ISC 2.0.2, he runs Xenix of some kind]. If I make Elm show me the message headers, what I see is: From uucp Sat Dec 9 10:21:44 1989 Date: Sat, 9 Dec 89 10:21:44 PST From: uucp (0000-uucp(0000)) Message-Id: <8912091821.AA00201@muleshu.UUCP> Apparently-To: dstein >From: daryl Sat Dec 9 09:09:10 1989 remote from tcomeng Received: by tcomeng.UUCP (smail2.5) id AA00716; 9 Dec 89 09:07:10 PST (Sat) Subject: miscellaneous stuff To: muleshu!dstein Date: Sat, 9 Dec 89 9:07:10 PST From: Daryl Jones Cc: dstein@tcomeng.UUCP (Doug Stein) X-Mailer: ELM [Version 2.2 PL14] Message-Id: <8912090907.AA00716@tcomeng.UUCP> Now, whenever I use the 'r' key of Elm (or mail for that matter), a reply is generated to uid uucp on my system, instead of tcomeng!daryl. I have compiled Elm with USE_EMBEDDED_ADDRESSES both defined and undefined (but since mail also exhibits this behavior, I don't see Elm as the real culprit). Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?
