- FROM - replace the FROM field
-
- Usage: FROM [text]
-
- The FROM command changes the FROM field of the current outgoing message.
- The FROM field is normally filled automatically with your name and
- electronic mail address. You can substitute some other text either
- by using the FROM command or by using SET DEFAULT-FROM. MM will then
- add a REPLY-TO field containing your name and electronic mail address.
- Unless the FROM field contains your own electronic mail address, MM will
- also add a SENDER field during mailing, which is not visible when you
- use DISPLAY to look at the message.
-
- If you want to change the name part on all your outgoing mail, change the
- variable PERSONAL-NAME rather than DEFAULT-FROM.
-
- If you want replies to go to someone else, leave the FROM field alone
- and use the REPLY-TO command to add an address for replies.
-
- The FROM command with no text inserts your name and userid as in
- /etc/passwd (the default).
-
- Example:
- Send>display headers
- From: Joseph Brennan <brennan@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu>
- To: fuat
- Subject: finishing up
- Send>from The Office Upstairs
- Send>display headers
- From: The Office Upstairs
- To: fuat
- Subject: finishing up
- Reply-To: Joseph Brennan <brennan@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu>
-
- Note that the SENDER header field does not appear although it will be
- added during mailing. You can change or erase the REPLY-TO field if
- you want to.
