Dear netters,

I've recently installed the new elm version (2.4 PL0). A funny thing
happens if I send myself a local test mail like

   math10:root% date | elm root

and then use elm to reply to that message it will address it to

   root@math10.mathematik

which is not a valid hostname and results in a name server lookup
failure ("mathematik" is our yellow pages domain name). I would be
very grateful for any hints that might help to solve that problem.
I've installed Elm on an Ultrix 4.2a system (DECSystem 5400).

Please make any answers via Email and I'll summarize if there's interest.

Thanks in advance for your time,

	root (hoover)
