this is probably obvious, but since we're proposing scripting solutions to the 'choose correct From: for a reply" problem, i'd like to nominate this (i.e., scripting) for new messages as well. again, the point being that there often isn't "a local mailbox name" -- there are many of them, and choosing one can be done in various ways. asking the user is one way, running a script another. paul > > Thoughts? > > --Ken > > _______________________________________________ > Nmh-workers mailing list > Nmh-workers@nongnu.org > https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers =--------------------- paul fox, p...@foxharp.boston.ma.us (arlington, ma, where it's 36.0 degrees) _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
