My own configuration is exmh + nmh + sendmail; the From: address is added by sendmail. If you need to add `Reply-To:', or other components, automatically, you need to set up a file called components in your personal Mail directory. This is used by mh for all messages originated by you. You also need to have Mail/replcomps for messages where you are replying to someone with repl, Mail/forwcomps for messages which forward another message with forw, and Mail/distcomps for messages which you are redistributing with dist. Here is my Mail/components file (everything between the blank lines): X-URL: http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver X-face: "xUFVDj+ZJtL_IbURmI}!~xAyPC"Mrk=MkAm&tPQnNq(FWxv49R}\>[EMAIL PROTECTED] KMLl*!h}B)[EMAIL PROTECTED]|B}6<X<J|}QsVlTi:RA:O7Abc(@D2Y/"J\S,b1!<&<B/[EMAIL PROTECTED] _+=`K$5TI|4I0-=Cp%pt~L#QYydO'[EMAIL PROTECTED],h(cZi}T#PB"#!k p^e=Z.K~fuw$l?]lUV)?R]U}l;f*~Ol)#fpKR)[EMAIL PROTECTED];c{;Ms=0{`D Lq9MO6{wj%s-*N"G,g To: cc: Fcc: fcc Subject: -------- Since my `From:' address is correctly set by sendmail, I don't need a `Reply-To:' line, but you could add one. I suggest, though, that your smail configuration is the place to look in order to correct the `From:' line. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP key from public servers; key ID 32B8FAA1 ======================================== "Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are for us..."
