Hi there!

I enjoy using Elm, but I developed my own system for filing my mail.  
Basically, I have a directory for incoming letters and a directory 
for outgoing letters, and both are saved under the name of the 
sender/recipient (logically, nothing that comes to me is saved under 
'david'!).  

In the Elm setup, I can specify 'forcename=on' to save under the 
person's name, but Elm likes to put both incoming and outgoing mail
together.  Is there a 'sentmail=some.directory' option that I can 
specify when I use this?  I see that Elm uses my incoming dir...
Right now, I do most of my mailing via transmission of previously 
created files, so it doesn't make a great deal of difference (Elm 
doesn't tack on the output in that case), but now that I can use vi 
instead of mail's line editor, I would just as soon go ahead and do 
it from Elm.  But we're back to the problem of where to store the 
outgoing letter-- I want it under mail/out!

Rather than tie up the bandwidth with a huge letter explaining everything 
in excruciating detail, I will instead mail that long letter to anyone 
interested enough in trying to help me to wade through it all.  Since 
I unfortunately don't have access to news right now, replies should 
come in via internet email if possible or bitnet mail if not.  Thanks 
bunches!!

David

PS--	I can't seem to get that darned archive server to work.  Could 
someone just mail me the 6 patches for Elm 2.3?  Thank you!!!!!
