So you want to keep this? Or do you want to have this instead?
sorry. i was rambling. i'm only saying that it should be dropped, because, a) it's a pretty new feature, so there are probably people actively using it, and b) it's quite a useful feature -- on the fly modification (albeit limited) of the From: address, in a way that caters to the variable-recipient feature found in all major MTAs today.

So how about > default component formats which got your From line from the enviroment? oh, sure that would be fine. i didn't realize that was possible with mh-format. forget i said anything. in any case, be sure and keep "cleanup" separate from "new features" in your own mind, since some of us kibitzing from the sidelines keep forgetting the distinction. :-) :-/ paul =--------------------- paul fox, p...@foxharp.boston.ma.us (arlington, ma, where it's 32.7 degrees) _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
