I'm having also trouble with sendmail, but my problem is I can't seem to
get the unix style From <author> line in my front of the RFC822 headers.
I have defined a macro: DlFrom $g  $d , but the problem is I don't
know what to do with it to get the From line in my local mail.
I tried inserting it in the Define header lines but all I get
are error messages or From: lines. (e.g. H?mflags?hname:htemplate)
