This may be a faq with an obvious answer (like rtfm), but I can't find
any digest reading feature in elm. Is there a way to break up digests into
articles in elm?

What about shrinking your sig or not appending it to your mail?

And I'm not even going to mention the tab damage... Damn! There I did it.

If you must append then you could always try:

ex - ~/Mail/sent<<EOF
g/^-- / .,/^\$/-1d
x
EOF

This of course makes certain assumptions about what your sig looks like
and what shell you use (I'm guessing a csh derivative given your use of ~).

You don't have long aliases, you have an illegal alias name (not aliased
address)

2.3's alias tables require that the alias name, quoting the Elm Alias Guide:

The major limitation with group aliases is that each of the
people in the list must be a previously defined alias
or a valid mail address on the current machine.

Thus 

> spiegl@informatik.tu-muenchen.de

does not fit that rule.  It, as an alias name is too long.  Now
as an aliased address its not too long.

You need to say:

spiegel = = spiegl@informatik.tu-muenchen.de
...

then

group = = spiegel, .....

Boy, will I be glad when 2.4 is released and we throw out this
alias subsystem for a more rational one.

I realize this may not be possible, but atleast for internal mail is there
any way the elm can tell or reply to the user the fact that the mail
has been received? or read? by the recipient?

I seem to recall this being asked many moons ago with a big discussion
being hashed out about how could you do this with various standards
and lack of standards, etc. etc.  But, you see we are trying to get
users off an old antiquated system -- but it has this feature! Arg :-(

So, any takers, is it possible using elm? Thanks.

Hi folks,


I've searched the bug list in the monthly posting and read the last
few hundred postings but have not seen this bug...

When a user looks at a folder, the arrow indicator scrolls correctly
but when a message is selected for reading, elm does not show 
the message selected.  Further, the displayed message seems to be
run together with other messages.  Its as if elm can not seperate
the messages properly.  However, it seperated them fine for the
purpuse of showing the little headers that the arrow scrolls past.

Previous postings have mentioned a mailbox format.  I will try
to understand what this means and see if the folder has been corrupted.
Meanwhile, any helpful hints would be apreciated.

thanks

forward to is an MTA function.  Elm is blissfully ignorant of that function.
See how to set up a forwarding file with the VMS mail transport agent.

Now hold on a minite......  This is not a bug, there is no

However, the entire alias subsystem was replaced and even that method
of handling group aliases is gone.

ok, if we mean Oct 1 as Oct 1, I'd say 0.  If we mean Oct 1 as the first

Hi folks,

This is for a friend who uses elm on VMS and who does not have access to
this group. I checked the FAQ and didn't find the answer. Since I know
nothing about VMS the question may be trivial (forgive me if it is).

The question is: how do I setup elm so that my e-mails are automatically
forwarded to another host/account? On Unix, the file .forward does this.
Also with VMS MAIL, there is something like "set forward=" or so. What's
the corresponding stuff for elm?

The version my friend uses is 2.2 PL10 for VMS.

Please reply to my account. Thanks a lot.

I think you probably want auto carbon copy, if I  interpret correctly.
In  your ~/.elm/elmrc  file,  make sure that the following two options
are set properly:

  copy = ON
  forcename = ON

This will save  all outgoing  mail  in  folders according to recipient

An alternative solution, if you want elm to have all the new messages waiting

Hi,

I'm trying to build cem and ran into a wall.  During the link phase, I
get the following undefined symbols:
I18nGetLocaleString
_XtR3StringToKeysym
_Xt$LoadQueryFont

My man pages don't know about any of these.  I can't even find them in
any of the source files to cem.

Naturally, if I try running the resulting executable, it core dumps.
I'm building this on a DECstation 3100 running Ultrix 4.2, so I'm
using the Pmax flavor of the cem distribution.

Questions:

1) What am I doing wrong???

2) I would also like to build this for an RS/6000.  Has anyone done
   this?

3) What's the author's email address?  I couldn't find it anywhere in
   the distribution.
  

Any info would be appreciated.

I use it when sending faxes from my mail system to execute an

fax is sent.

I use Chip Salzenberg's deliver MDA to divert e-mail to the fax
delivery system.  When an Action: line is found in the header it
is taken to be a call to xroff (a troff implementation) to format
the body of the document into a tiff file which is then sent by
the fax daemons.  If there is no Action: header it just uses an

Let me be more specific.  (And perhaps a bit rude :-)
There is no support for 2.4dev versions.  In fact, often
2.4dev versions wouldn't even run.  2.4dev17 was very
EARLY in the 2.4 development, over a year ago, as such
MUCH has changed, and I have no idea if
1. The code then was correct, or for that matter, that
section you are referring to was even finished, or in
transition with only part of it changed.

My recommendation, is to DUMP 2.4devPL17, either return
to 2.3PL11 or wait the two weeks or so for 2.4 to be released.

>I hope release 3.0 will come soon: handle the folder

3.0 WILL NOT be soon, it has not even been started, nor will
it until 2.4 is 'stable'  I would expect 3.0 in 1994.

Hi,

I'm looking for some help getting elm working on Apollo Domain OS v10.4.
The last sysadmin had got it working under 10.3 but didn't save the
config.sh, and the binary wasn't backed up before the upgrade.

I've managed to get it to compile, but it gives a memory fault
upon execution if i have the /lib/clib in the path to use gethostname()
and if i don't do that and set -DGETOPT i can get it to compile
and run, but i get an EMT Trap when using "S" to send the edited message.
If i don't do a -DGETOPT it complains about strlen() being redefined.

So, any help or ideas would be welcome at this point. the users would
really like it back.

mail would be appriciated, but i'll check here too.

thanks in advance,

No, as emergency.mbox is just that, an emergency exit.  You are supposted

No.  Read the recently posted FAQ.

Why?    xterm -e elm

For some unknown reason the underscore in this line in my filter-rules

  if (from "geiser") then
    execute "/u/shutton/Script/resend skh_otd@ucs"

keeps getting turned into a  space.  I've  verified  this behavior  in
other situations like

    forward "skh_otd@ucs"

(the original way I tried to  bounce these  messages out).  I'm unable
to escape this character out, either.  Anyone found a reason  for this
or a workaround?
