Keywords: Reply, Problem, Sun, NFS Message-ID: Date: 10 Oct 90 14:54:21 GMT Sender: news@ecn.purdue.edu (USENET news) Organization: Purdue University Engineering Computer Network Lines: 25 I am running Elm 2.3 PL6 on a Sun4 system. The way our mail is handled here is that everyone has a home account (since they can have multiple accounts), and their mail is directed there. So, if my home account is on host A, someone on host B can simply send mail to 'boerio', and it will get routed to 'boerio@A' without that user having to worry about it. Up until the time I installed Elm in a system directory (it has been running off my home directory), whenever I would Reply to a message from 'user@B' (remember, I am on A), Elm would set the return address to be 'user' as expected. Now, if I have received mail from 'user@B', and I Reply to it, Elm forms the outbound address to be 'user@B'. This is distressing because it should not happen. As one of my Configure options, I told Elm NOT to resolve outbound addresses. If someone can tell me what has changed, and why Elm is now doing this, I would appreciate it immensely. - Jeff -- Jeff Boerio (boerio@orchestra.ecn.purdue.edu) Purdue University ECN Software Support Programmer "Don't ask me, I'm just improvising" - Neil Peart, Rush "There's someone in my head, but it's not me." - Pink Floyd
