Dear Netters, I use both mail (mailx) and elm regularly and I think I am proficient enough to customize them through changing the .mailrc and writing scripts. Here is my question: 1. How can I automate my mail program (either of them is fine) to automatically send me a blind carbon copy (bcc:) of each mail I sent out? 2. How can I cancel and copy (while the mail is still in queue of my file system) the mail I've sent out (say just 30 seconds ago)? As of to date, I had to manually issue a command to instruct it to do so through, for instance "~b" in mail. And for the second question, I was able to access mails that was sent to me by scanning through /etc/spool/mail and matching with my user id. I'd appreciate your response. Please send e-mail to me.
