-
- Sorry if any of these questions can be found easily in the docs:
-
- Is there a simple way to prepend a path to an address. For instance, if
- I send mail to djh@neptune.att.com, I want the mailer to prepend att!,
- since my local machine does not yet know about internet addresses. I
- also need this if I send to machinex!usery and my local machine doesn't
- know about machinex. I don't want it prepended it my local machine
- knows about the machine or if the user is on the current machine.
-
- When I reply to mail from users on a system know to mine, the paths
- tend to get messed up. For instance, if userx on machinex sends a message
- to me on machiney and CCs others on machiney, the replied to CC will have
- machinex!machiney!otheruser instead of just otheruser. Is there a way
- to preprocess the To and CC lines?
-
- When I hit r instead of g by accident (or vice versa), is there an easy
- way to get back to the main screen without going all the way through and
- then selecting forget, e.g., hitting Delete?
-
- Is it possible to pull up my editor to edit my To or CC list when replying
- to mail - right now I have to edit it inline, which usually means erasing
- it and retyping what I want, even if I just removing one person.
-
- On aliasing, why can't spaces be used in addition to commas? It seems that
- elm thinks some of my groups are persons if I nest my groups, e.g.,
- group1=user1,user2 group2=user3,user4 bothgroups=group1,group2 bg=bothgroups
- elm thinks bg is a person not a group.
-
- Is there a way to have a system wide alias file in addition to the private
- alias files. This way only one person needs to maintain the group lists.
-
- Thanks for the help.
