- I've been using elm happily as my mailer for a while, and I decided to
- get it called up when I start openwindows (Suns X windowing system).
-
- I'm running SunOS 4.1.1 and Openwindows 2 with Elm 2.3 PL11.
-
- I tried to get elm to start up with the window system (by editing
- .openwin-init).
-
- Now, elm starts up, the menu at the bottom displays, and the list of
- message headers does not. I can read messages, by typing retrun, I
- can set the message to a new number, even after reading messages, I
- can't get elm to show me the headers.
-
- Calling up Elm in a shelltool still works. ^L, suspending elm, and
- reentering do not get my messages to show up.
-
- Any advice?
-
-
- In my .openwin-init, I changed:
- shelltool -Wp 575 227 -Ws 593 461 -WP 159 833 +Wi &
- to
- shelltool -Wp 575 227 -Ws 593 461 -WP 159 833 +Wi elm &

- What a terrible thing to have lost one's .sig. Or not to have a .sig
- at all. How true that is.
