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.

Edwin
