How does one get the full internet address into one's From: field?
When I set that in my NAMES file, the MAILBOOK command can't find my
entry because it uses the information from IDENTIFY (I.e. just my
RSCS node name) to locate me there - and fails...  My current
solution (which is inadquate, sigh) is to 'SETMAIL MAILER SMTP' and
let SMTP rewrite my From: line (which it does happily!) to include the
domain name.   Thanks - Yossie
