Whenever I get a mail message from a remote site, the From line shows it
to be either from me(!) or from uucp.  For example:

I am not at ease with tape formats, but I believe the format is refered
to as 1600 bpi.  As MIT is distributing many copies of a great deal of
software, and they only use one format, I suspect it is "universal".


Is there some flag I can change so that when I reply from inside 'mail'
or 'mailx' it will go to the address in the 'From:'?  Thanks.
