On our CD4000 system from Control Data we use the enhanced versions of mh and
xmh. These programs UAs allow lookup of mail addresses in a X.500 directory and
the specification of most of the X.400 attributes. 

But as far as I can see you can use X.400 addresses with every UA as long as
as your sendmail is able to recognize the X.400 address and then forwards
the mail to the next SMTP/X.400 gateway. That means you need additional rules
in your sendmail.cf. Then you can use X.400 addresses like

   /g=michael/s=storz/ou=lrz/o=/prmd=lrz-muenchen/admd=dbp/c=de/

Sendmail must use this as the local part of a RFC822 address and must append
the domainname of the gateway to form a valid RFC822 address. The gateway will
accept this local part as a valid X.400 address.

>quote text automatically in repl? I mean something like:

>> here.

A 'replfilter' is the answer to your question.  In your .mh_profile you should
specify a file that MH will use to format replies when the 'repl' command is
envoked.  The added line in your .mh_profile should look something like:

repl:	-filter /usr/local/lib/mh/replfilter

I put the filter in this directory because it is used by so many users on my
system.  The file 'replfilter' should contain something like:

message-id:nocomponent,formatfield=\
"In message %{text}you write:"
body:component=">",overflowtext="> ",overflowoffset=0

This should fix your problems.  Good luck.

Summary: But it's gonna cost you.
Organization: LSI Logic/Headland Technology

GEnie now has its Internet mail gateway running for "beta test".
Send email to user@genie.geis.com.  

However, you can't send email to just any GEnie user.  You can only
send email to users who have signed up for "Internet mail service",
which costs an extra $9.95 per month over and above other GEnie fees.
Sending email to the Internet costs $.40 per message.  There is no
per-message charge to receive Internet email.

In my opinion (which I've shared with GEnie FEEDBACK) this is absurd.
A reasonable per-message charge is OK, ($.40 seems a bit high, but
isn't too exhorbitant) and maybe a one-time setup would (grumble
grumble) be acceptable, but a $9.95 per month recurring fee is just
plain out of the question.  This is twice what I'm currently paying
for GEnie, the $4.95 "Basic Services" charge, and seems completely
out of line to me.

No, deleting MAIL.MAI would be like chucking your filing cabinet. Deleting
an empty folder is like pulling a manilla file folder out of the cabinet
and tossing it in the trash can. What you are suggesting is like pulling
a manilla file folder out of the cabinet, removing the papers inside it,
and throwing them in the trash, and then putting the empty manilla folder
back into the drawer.

Hi Folks...

	I'm running a Unix machine with public, shell access.
What I would like to do is offer off-line mail access, so that
users don't have to read their mail on-line if they don't
want to.

	Now, preferably it would just download their mailbox
in standard format, and let them go through it like 'elm' allows
them to do on-line.  That would allow them to read their mail
off-line, but how about sending mail?  Can that be done?

	Basically, I don't want to set up a whole bunch of
FSUUCP or UUPC feeds off of here, that would be a major headache.
I would like a user to maybe have a program that would log on
automatically, to their personal account, and then download
their mail that is waiting, upload any mail that is waiting
to go, but *still* have the functionality of logging onto
their account for an interactive session of, let's say, news
reading or something like that.

	Is this possible?  I noticed someone posted something
about NUPop?  I've also heard about POP, but haven't got a
clue what that is. :(

Thanks for help...

Marc

 As mentioned in a previous followup, the mail folder doesn't exist
 as such and therefore disappears when all messages in it are deleted.
 Basically there's nothing that you're doing wrong it's just one of those
 things. However I guess you'd like to stop having to hit Y and <RETURN>
 after entering your commands. As I'm currently sending this from our
 Unix system I can't confirm the syntax but I think there's a qualifier
 on the FILE command (/CREATE ??) that will create the folder without
 prompting you if it doesn't already exist. Just use that with the FILE
 command.

Subject: Rand MH: why do bcc recipients see each other's addresses?
Date: 13 Aug 92 06:05:26 GMT

I'm running the Rand Mail Handler 6.6 on IRIX 4.0.x on SGI boxes.
No aliases are used in the example below.

If I send a piece of mail like this in mh from joseph@biocad.com:

  To: joseph
  Bcc: fred@falafel.com, betty@blink.com, mindy@biocad.com
  Subject: foo

  body

Then, it appears like this in fred's, betty's, and mindy's mailboxes:

  From: joseph@biocad.com
  Subject: foo
  Apparently-To: fred@falafel.com
  Apparently-To: betty@blink.com
  Apparently-To: mindy@biocad.com

  ------- Blind-Carbon-Copy

  From: joseph
  To: joseph
  Subject: foo

  body

  ------- End of Blind-Carbon-Copy

Multiple Apparently-To's, one for each bcc recipient, appear when one
or more of the bcc addresses are _outside_ of the biocad domain.  Is
there any way to prevent this?  It does not happen if every bcc
recipient is _in_ the biocad domain.  Berkeley Mail doesn't have this
problem at all (I tried it), which may mean that my sendmail.cf is not
at fault, but I'm really not sure what to check, next.  Suggestions?
(besides maintaining separate alias lists for mh and berzerkley mail)

Someone in Russia sent me his fido address. How in the world do I mail him at 
the following:


TO:  IVAR ZARANS, AT FIDONET:  2:490/20.2028

Can anybody give me a hint?

Fred

	I just found one that wins hands down. While scanning the
mailer-daemon logs yesterday, I found an entry which bounced because
the reply had been sent to the Message-Id!
