As a very low priority task I have been tinkering with elm to try and
get it to cooperate with mmdf. I use the mmdf sendmail substitute, as
you suggested, though eventually I want to replace this with "submit", of
course. That would also involve making the header editing section a lot
better, using termcap to provide better screen control and editing.

I had to change many bits of elm which rely on the stupid sendmail
message format, and make it understand about the 4 ^A message
seperators. It still is a bit funny; also the stuff which massages the
dates on messages (received and sent) needs looking at.

What I want to do is incorporate my hacks into 2.0 (1?) when it arrives,
and tidy it up a bit. I gather that the new version will be out before
too long. After that perhaps I shall post or mail the diffs depending on
how interested people are. They are all #ifdef'd but I must confess
it is a bit messy.

I made a similar enquiry to yours a few months ago but got no response
at all, by the way!
