- Someone must have asked for these before, buttttt...
-
- A) I'd like a:
-
- replyto = email.address@some.site
-
- setting in ~/.elm/elmrc, implemented in such a manner such that if I
- need to edit the Reply-To: address, I can do so by entering the
- Message Header Edit Screen. I was sort of expecting this in Elm 2.4
- and was quite surprised to find out that I still had to do the same
- old ~/.elm/elmheaders hack.
-
- B) I'd like a:
-
- mta = something-other-than-the-default
-
- setting in ~/.elm/elmrc, kinda like "set sendmail" in implementations
- of /usr/ucb/Mail. This would allow users to process their email
- before having it hit sendmail/smail/whatever, or possibly to redirect
- to a smart host or otherwise bypass a stupid local MTA. I can
- implement this by using some sort of warped script instead of
- sendmail, but after seeing a simple "smtp-server=" line in .pinerc
- along with the Berkeley mail set, I figured this is something some
- poeple out there may want.
-
- Now it's quite possible that someone has already implemented code to
- do this, either for Elm 2.3 or 2.4, or that there are unseen
- difficulties in implementing the above that I haven't figured. But I
- really don't know, and don't really want to become intimate with elm
- 2.4 with 3.0 just around the corner <laughs> so I'm asking for input
- on this. Please direct replies to the newsgroup.
