Re: Clarification of elm/smail config problem
I haven't followed all the thread but if the problem is that you are
getting the wrong header when you use elm why don't you force a "Reply-to"
header? You can do that by creating a file called elmheaders in you ~/.elm
directory with a line like "Reply-to: lee.bradshaw@mindspring.com".
I don't recall all the details (like the file name and format) but I
have done it in the past. Look at the docs.
