Recently the following question was posted by don@grce (Donald D. Woelz).

   I am having a problem with ELM reply addresses.  I recognize that
   this could very well be due to the way I have configured ELM at my
   site and my ignorance of how mail headers are defined and used, but
   I don't see what I have done wrong at this point.  Some help would
   be appreciated.

   When replying to a mail message from someone on the local machine,
   ELM is using the From: header field to get the return address.  A
   typical From: header field might look like this:

   From: don <don@grc   

   The return reply uses the address in angle brackets which is then
   interpreted by ELM to be a remote machine and ELM therefor uses the
   remote signature.  This is the crux of the problem.  I would like it
   to use the local signature because it is indeed a local address.

   How can I change this behaviour?

Was this problem ever addressed?  I have the same problem and was looking
for a response.  Sorry if the answer was posted and I missed it, but it
is a minor irritation.
