The default elm.rc file is not distributed with elm, but if desired must
be created by the person who installs Elm.  It is described in the
Elm Reference Guide and in the Elm Configuration Guide.  It is only
part of the 2.4 release and did not exist prior to that time.

Elm picks up the home directory from the password file, based on the UID.
(This is done to avoid problems when someone has run in a su'd mode)

Thus in the password file it appears that wsadkin's home directory is
/usr/staff/wsadkin.

Well, yes and no..... Elm uses the password file for the value home.
But if you have a path in the elmrc file that is absolute, then the value
for home is never used.  2.4 does allow the name in the elmrc file to
be ~/Mail and even remembers to keep the ~ when rewriting it. (2.3 lost
the ~ on the rewrite)

When using elm V2.2 PL16 we try to save a message from one folder to 
another, using s)ave followed by the folder name,  we get the following 
error message:

	Segment Violation signal!
	Emergency exit taken! All temp files intact!

Any ideas what might be causing this? I read in the comp.mail.elm newsgroup
that others have had this problem due to the header buffer size limitation
in versions of elm 2.X. If this is the case I am wondering why I am able
to save the message from the incoming mail folder to another but when I 
try to save the message for the second time I get the above error.

Also, we are not able to print a message. We tried tagging it and then
entering p)rint to print the tagged message. A mail message will be printed 
but it is not the highlighted or tagged message. Any ideas about this one?

Thanks in advance!

So far I have had no problems with any of it since installing

A job well done.

Subject: Back-quote expansion in elmrc?
Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories, Holmdel NJ
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 1992 15:13:10 GMT


I'm currently saving my outgoing mail to one particular file.
When I used to use mailx, I was able to have the name of the file
change according to the date, effectively allowing me to archive
my outgoing mail by month, like this:

    set record=+"`date +%y%h`"

(which would save mail sent this month to a file called "92Nov").

Does Elm allow backquote-expansion in .elm/elmrc?
It doesn't seem to work with 2.vPL11; how about 2.4?

Thanks,
Andy

Well, not exactly.  The yellow pages entry for my login lists /d4m/wsadkin
as my home directory.  

HOWEVER: ELM apparently checks the elmrc file in the .elm directory before checking the passwd database; I had copied my old .elm directory and its 
contents so I would not lose my old mail aliases (yes, I ran newalias on 
them...)  But the old elmrc file had the maildir variable set to 
/usr/staff/wsadkin/Mail.  

I moved the old elmrc file, and ELM made a new one, and seems to be happy!

Thanks for the help tho,

The "readmsg" diagnostic message is a distraction from the real problem.
It happens because Elm is trying to run a "readmsg|more" pipeline,
and the end of the pipeline is dying before "readmsg" can run.

(Boring details - Elm creates a state file with information for readmsg,
e.g. the message number to extract from your folder.  Since the pipeline
dies prematurely, Elm removes that state file before readmsg can run.
Readmsg is complaining because it doesn't know what to do -- the state
file is missing and no message numbers were specified on the command
line.  Thus it gives a usage diagnostic.)

There really is a problem -- but if you are suspecting readmsg then
you are looking on the wrong side of the "|".  There is something
wrong with "more".  You should see if you can run some other command
OK, e.g. can you pipe into "cat"?  And what is this "M-^?"?  That is
almost certainly not being produced by readmsg or Elm.

I'll try to get a fix into the next Elm patch to get rid of this
spurious readmsg complaint.  But anybody having trouble printing or
piping should treat the readmsg usage diagnostic as exactly that --
spurious.  The real problem is elsewhere.

I've not seen Fernmail, but I use Eudora every day and it is GREAT. The 
author Steve Dorner is still doing very active development on it, and it is
still FREE. (It does require MacTCP on a network.) It's a POP client, so
you have to have a local POP server set up first, but that's easy to do on
a Unix box.

PL6.
