Close, but not quite.  A new set (fairly different from the old one
in important ways) was posted last week:-

It should still be in news.answers (if not ask your sys admin why
there is such a tight expiry on news.answers), if not in
comp.mail.elm.

Of course MIT should have it in their archives.

Can anyone out there give me a bit of input on how (or whether) you
can change the set of options available via the "o" command?
I can change the assorted options listed in the elmrc file by editing
that file, but since one of the options in elmrc is itself the list of
options available via "o", it seems as if this can be changed.  The
ones listed as changeable by "o" in elmrc at present are all
identified in the "o" menu by their first letters.  Clearly, this
won't work for a lot of the others, not currently in the menu.
Or am I asking for something that cannot be done?
Many thanks in advance... please reply by e-mail to save everyone from
having to read the answers to what is probably a pretty elementary
question!

	There's your problem. You need to have rules for EVERY message!
	So you should add a line that looks like this:

    >>> always save /home3/t/timewarp/mailbox

	This should be the last rule of your 'filter-rules' file so that

	You might want to add a -o option to save errors in a file. 
	my '.forward' file look like this:

Hi!!
This is my problem:
Every time I call elm the following message appears:

Notice:
ELM requires the use of a folders directory to store your mail folders in.
Shall I create the directory /usr1/ma/530.01/maxc1189/Mail for you (y/n)? 


How can I get rid of it??

Distribution: world

Hi there!  I'm sort of a novice at this, so bear with me if my question isn't
very clear.  Hopefully someone can help me anyways.

I'm using a SGI Indigo computer (4.0.5) that is connected to two other Indigos
by NFS and NIS.  Recently I downloaded the source code for Elm2.4 for unix and
attempted to compile it on our systems.  I used the 'Configure' program which
went through a series of questions about the system; I believe I answered these
correctly.  When I finished, I entered the command 'make documentation' which
started correctly but ended with an 'error #255; Stopped'.  A similar result
occurred when I entered 'make all >& MAKELOG &', which was supposed to create
the /bin files (it didn't).

        First some simple questions.  The documentation doesn't specifically
say that Elm will work with SGI's.  Has anyone been able to this successfully?
If so, could you supply some hints or a 'walkthrough'?.  Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

You must be root to install Elm, so that elm gets installed setgid
and set to group mail.  Check the permissions on Elm.

Many systems adminstrators chose to set up a directory that links to
the correct user directory. For example, our systems have the
following setup:

I am user msingh, I can reference my directory as /u/msingh. If I get
moved, the systems admin makes sure that /u/msingh still references
the correct directory.

The nice thing about this is that it works for *all* programs, and
makes life generally much easier on the users. For the systems admin,
the amount of work needed to maintain /u is not that great since you
shouldn't really be constantly moving user's directories around.

Anyway, it is a suggestion for you.

Hello folks,
   I am hoping someone can help me out here.  I am using Elm 2.4 PL2 on an
RS/6000 model 220 running AIX 3.?.  In the past few days I have been getting
multiple mail messages under one title in the index.
   For example I was reading my mail this morning and opened up a note from
a fellow up in New Hampshire.  His note was there but appended directly to 
the end of it was a note (header intact) from someone else at an entirely
different site.  I marked everything for deletion except the one item
with two notes in it.  I quit Elm and then went back in.  This time only
the first of the two notes was there.  
   I suspect something on my system because this has just started to
happen and I have not changed Elm.  Also yesterday, I tried quitting Elm
and then going back in and looking again.  It seemed that it would still
join two notes together in one, but not always the same two notes.
Plain old mail read them separately with no problem.
   Anybody have any suggestions or fixes?

When I like it :-)

I have been on deadline at work, so I had no time to work on it
for the past two weeks.  I have added some corrections to the
first alpha of it, and issued a second alpha.  I suspect
another two weeks to complete testing et al.

Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1993 15:42:58 GMT

Since I'm looking for a good X based mailer to use in conjunction with elm
(for those days that you just *want* to point and click), I decided to try
the OpenWindows 3.0 Mailtool.  

Anyway, here's the problem:  while in the mailtool I sent a message to
myself.  Filter barfed with the following:

filter (weisen): Couldn't create lockfile ******
filter (weisen): Can't open mailbox /usr/spool/mail/weisen!
filter (weisen): Using /afs/alw.nih.gov/dcrt/weisen/EMERGENCY_MBOX as
emergency mailbox

where the ****** is a bunch of international characters.  Now the fact that
it didn't report the name of the lockfile seems to be a bug in the filter
code in actions.c (it uses this array called lockfile but doesn't seem to
place anything in it -- lock() uses a different pointer called lockfile;
maybe I missed something there).

Disregarding the fact that the error message is hosed, does anyone know what
the locking conflict between the OW Mailtool and Elm is?


Thanks,
Neil

I mean each of the recent pl's has one 'big flaw', as in the exit core dump
of pl20.  And I expect 21 will have the same 'big flaw' problem as it changes
so much.

	Routing non-Internet mail is up to the local site to determine.
In other words, it's not elm's problem, but rather your mailer.  Check
with your local postmaster on how to address BITNET mail.  (Most sites
on the Internet aren't configured to handle BITNET mail.  This may
be the case.)

	Also, please get your news software fixed too.  "arachana@hkusub"

Hello :

I have the following problem with elm :

When I read 'news' I save all the unread articles in a file and entering
elm, I change the folder to that saved file.  I don't know why it works
90% of the times and sometimes it tells me 'format unknown' or 
"Folder is corrupt!!  I can't read it!!"

It has been the case that sometimes, blank lines at the top of the folder
cause this, but not this time.

Thanks for comment.

Subject: Selectively Saving Outbound Messages

I would like to be able to automatically save selected outbound messages.
For example, I would like to save outbound and inbound (already done with
a filter) messages that are part of a continuing conversation in a specific
folder, but I don't want to save messages that are one-time only.

Right now I have two choices. The first is to save everything, but then
I have to manually clean up my mail directory. The other choice is to 
manually save messages, but unfortunately I forget to do that.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. BTW- I'm using Elm 2.3 PL11.

Steve

Hi,

What's the matter ? I have just tried to compile ELM 2.4PL17 on Encore
93, and it's wrong. 
I've got first a redeclaration of memcpy... (fixed: I suppressed the
#define MEMCPY in line 256 in defs.h)

But then, I found out a "va_dcl" symbol before the "{" of each
function. What is it ? My compilator refuse it. Did I make a mistake
during the configuration . What can I do ? Please, HELP NEEDED !!

Marc.
