Date: Tue, 21 Jul 92 07:17:54 GMT
Organization: Math MadHouse Bielefeld, Germany

Dear netters & netresses, :-)

I've got a problem with elm2.4devPL52 under Ultrix 4.2. Whenever I
send mail to a local person, e.g. hoover, the mail gets delivered ok,
but when I use the 'r' command to reply to that message the address is
changed to 'hoover@math22.mathematik' which is not a valid domain.  

I told Configure about our domainname which is
'.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de'. So why does it append the 'mathematik'
part?

Please make any answers via mail; I'll summarize later.

Thanks in advance for your time & efforts,
	hoover

   OK, I found the -ltermcap in the Makefiles and changed them to -lcurses.
This is an improvement.  Now ELM recognizes the size of the window when I 
start it up, but it does not handle resizing of the window.  Also, if there
are more messages in the index screen than will fit, some of them are listed
underneath the help text at the bottom.  I hope this makes sense.  The help
text I'm talking about is always on screen and is 3 lines long.  It appears
that the mail notes are listed but then the help text gets written over top.
When I move the highlight bar down to those lines then the message info can
be seen.  Surely that is not the way it is supposed to work?
   Thanks very much for all the help so far.

As several people have pointed out, your elm was probably compiled
with -lcurses (which is correct for OSF/1).  Elm is using terminfo.

You need a terminfo entry for this terminal.  Your OSF/1 system should
have one, since OSF ships one in /usr/share/lib/terminfo/lsi.ti.

Check to make sure the directory, /usr/share/lib/terminfo has single
letter (and digit) subdirectories.  The 'a' directory should have
lots of adm* terminals in it.

If not, get you system admin (or become root) to execute the
/postboot script to build the terminfo data base.

If you can't get this to happen, read the tic(1) man page and
set your TERMINFO variable to a directory you can write in, 
run the following : 'tic /usr/share/lib/terminfo/lsi.ta'.

Good luck.

   Choose e)dit message, !)shell, h)eaders, c)opy file, s)end, or f)orget.

 - copy will say:

   Save copy in (use '?' for help/to list folders): <conditionally save by name>

 - then hit <Backspace> and <Return> and notice the reply

   Save copy in (use '?' for help/to list folders): <no save>

 - then send the message as usual.


Hope this helps.

 We have an IBM PC running ELM and Telnet.  The PC is hooked up to an

How do we get ELM to print to this?  On a normal setup (PC w/Epson
printer running ELM/telnet we can use Tprint which turns on the capture
function in telnet and capture the file to a capfile.out on  the root
directory which is then piped to the printer.  This is done by modifying
the config.tel file in the telnet subdirectory.  Suggestions??

Watch for editline, a drop-in replacement for readline, to appear in a

i've had a patched version of filter for some time which
supports list of rules. so you would say

if <condition> then begin
  <action1>
  <action2>
  ....
  end

i mentioned it when i got it working but no-one seemed at all

Hi all,

Elm 2.3PL11, Irix 4.0.4. It works fine, but I can't get the default options
quite the way I want them. Specifically, I want

E)ditor              : /usr/local/bin/emacs -nw
P)rint mail using    : /bin/cat %s | /usr/bin/lp

The first is obvious, and the second is a workaround for an IRIX lp bug.
I can type them into the options screen and they work fine. What I can't do
is give them to Configure in such a way that they come out the other end.
If I just type them in as is I get

E)ditor              : emacs
P)rint mail using    : /bin/cat %s | /bin/cat %s | /usr/bin/lp

Any thoughts? Please mail; I'll summarize.

TIA,

Subject: Differing sort modes for differing folders?
Date: 24 Jul 92 17:37:11 GMT
Organization: Dept. of Physics & Astronomy, Arizona State University

Hi,

I've been using ELM for a number of years now and have found it to be a
very flexible and useful piece of software.

There is one feature that I think is still a little "behind the times".
The folder sorting hierarchy needs to have differing modes for differing
folders.  Let me explain this a little clearer.  My incoming mailbox should
be sorted in "Mailbox" order since I will want to read the messages that
first arrived first.  However, when looking at my received and sent folders
the "Reverse-Sent" mode would make a lot more sense, since I am far more
likely to want to examine the most recent additions first. This capability,
as far as I can see, does not exist in ELM and should be added at the next
PL.

Just my $0.02 worth.

  I'm using a 'Unix' host with several printers linked. The printer I use is
not fixed as I access to my host in many places.  Hence, I made a small
script for mail printing in ELM(2.3 PL 11) and put it in 'Print' Option.

   My elmrc file has a line 'print = my_script %s'
my_script is as following.

#!/bin/sh
echo -n 'Printer='
read printer
lpr -P$printer $1

  When invoked by ELM, it does not prompt 'Printer='. But, I can designate
my printer name without what I type being echoed and output is sent to 
the printer whose name I type.  That's fine and I can do what I intended.

   But, I think it may be better not to suppress 'output' from print
scripts like 'Printer=' in my example.  Of course, this seems not so simple
matter and there may be complication resulting from not suppresing this.
Anyway, I sincerely hope you would pay a little attention to this problem 
in developing future version of ELM.

  Yes, there have been some porting problems, as the AIDS/UNIX has many very

ELM 2.3 PL 11/ Sun OS 4.1.1 

When I hit "g" to "group" reply, I notice that my email address
is included in the cc: field only if the original message came from
outside my domain.
I would like this to happen irrespective.

Am I missing something in my configuration ?

I don't usually read this newsgroup ... pardon me if this bug has been
brought up before:

We're running ELM 2.3 PL11 around here.  That version is installed in
/export on the Auspex my workstation boots from (the workstation is an
IPC running SunOS 4.1.1); the same ELM version is installed on our mail
server, a 690/SunOS 4.1.2 (its /var/spool/mail is mounted on my workstation).
My personal files on the Auspex are also mounted on the mail server.

I began to notice that when I newalias on the mail server, then my
aliases no longer work on my workstation.  It turns out that my
aliases.hash file is *different* when I "newalias" on the 690 mail
server, than it is when I "newalias" on my IPC, even though both run
the same version of elm.

Anyone seen this bug before?  Please reply directly to me, will summarize
if this topic hasn't been discussed before ...

Relying on From_ is dangerous, I think.  Any number of mailer aberrations
could mangle `From ' into a nasty twisted figment of its former self.
Are there no To:, Apprently-To:, or other headers upon which you could rely?

(I second Reply-To:, as well as Cc:.)
