I have tryed a test mail (or was it 2) cant remember to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] and they have not come back, (as yet). Surly a typo I left out the .net. Both mails arrived. The suggestion of Richard using Reply-to: is not accepted with exmh. I remember now several years ago I had asked the same question what the user name has to do with the e-mail name and did not get a satisfactory answer. I then just changed my user name to my my e-mail address name and whenever I changed my ISP I could keep the same name except last year the ISP did not accept then pfheiss and I changed to heisspf and had to change my user name as well. That was all in Red Hat. Now in slackware I thought I had gotten away from this, apparently not. So on with From: in the header. Since the mail program sylpheed nicely incorporates with exmh I could use it for sending mail. In sylpheed (Hal from HalTech listen) one can set-up several accounts with different user names and same ISP or different ISPs and can easily select which one to use to send mail with. The computer user name never shows up and the mail arrives with the From: always the account one has chosen.
