I recently, 1/2/89, received HP-UX 7.0 for my 825.  7.0 now comes with
elm.  elm is a ("User Agent") replacement for mailx.  I currently use
the version 2.2 [PL13] of elm from the elm development group.  When I 
tried to run HP_UX elm I got the following:

I can't understand line 22 in your ".elm/elmrc" file:
> receivedmail = =received
I can't understand line 37 in your ".elm/elmrc" file:
> sentmail = =sent
Line 46 of your ".elm/elmrc" is badly formed:
> remotesignature = 
I can't understand line 55 in your ".elm/elmrc" file:
> alwaysstore = OFF
I can't understand line 58 in your ".elm/elmrc" file:
> alwayskeep = ON
I can't understand line 75 in your ".elm/elmrc" file:
> bounceback = 0
I can't understand line 82 in your ".elm/elmrc" file:
> forcename = OFF
I can't understand line 110 in your ".elm/elmrc" file:
> promptafter = ON
Line 141 of your ".elm/elmrc" is badly formed:
> weedout =

I did a elm -v and got the following:

Anyone know what the "real" version number of the HP-UX elm is ?
Is this why it won't read the .elmrc file ?

I would read the manuals but they haven't arrived yet.

thanks
