Hi,

I'm having problems running ELM 2.3.11 with Xenix 386. I'm running
standard uucp, with the standard rmail program.

For whatever reason, ELM puts "From anonymous ..." etc in the
first line of the mail. The later "From: " line is correct. I've
tried every option in the Configure script, and STILL cannot get
it to put the right user name in that line. What am I doing wrong?

This works correctly for the same configuration in Suns and HPs.
Please help as I would really like to use ELM on my Xenix machine.

Thanks
