Hi, netters. I need some help for the following situation: I have two email accounts. Let's call them AAA@XXX and BBB@YYY. AAA@XXX is an account I will use for several years and BBB@YYY is an account I will only use for a few months ( but BBB@YYY will be used more often from now on ). Because I have kept contact with my friends and colleagues by using AAA@XXX since a few years now, I don't want to confuse my friends with my short term new account. Now here comes my question : Is there a way to reply mail which is forwarded from AAA@XXX to my short term account BBB@YYY such that when the other party gets the reply, s/he will still see the reply as from AAA@XXX account ? Thanx in advance. C. Moi

Yes, there is, but without knowing what kind of system "YYY" is I can't tell you specifically. Basically, you can simply insert your own "From: AAA@XXX" header, and the mail software will accept that (although it will add a "Sender: BBB@YYY" line to point out that you are not who you say you are. Nevertheless, your friends will not be confused. Mark -- Mark Towfiq, towfiq@Microdyne.COM H:+1 617 488 2818 O CHILDREN OF MEN! Know ye not why We created you all from the same dust?

Sorry, I don't think that helps everyone. Berkeley mail (if I assume
that the 4.3 tahoe one can speak for the other ones) does not allow
the user to add any more than {To,Subject,Cc,Bcc}. I have long been
wanting to use a Reply-To with it. Seeing your Message-ID I assume it
is GNUS and so I can assume that you use some sort of mailer that
speaks directly to the MTA. Sendmail doesn't allow From line override
unless the user is 'trusted'.
When will Reply-To become a standard option in BSD mail? :-( Please,
no MUA wars. As much as I love to use vi, I love using mail (ofcourse
coupled with the power of vi).
I would be happy to take a Sendmail rule for that if somebody can give
me one. Till then I guess I will have to use Rnmail for such things.
