Reply-To: borrel@dhhalden.no (Borre Ludvigsen) Distribution: world As I often have to log on to my Next from the "outside world", I'd like the NextMailer and Mail be as compatible as possible. It all works fine except for glitches in the headers and lists. Autoreplying from the NextMailer works fine, but autoreplying from Mail causes me to be automatically CC:'d. In Mail's outbox list, my name shows up as the "to" and in the Nextmailer's Outgoing.mbox there isn't a "to" at all. Also, repcipients of mail that has been autoreplied from Mail complain that there is a cc: to me (the replier) field and from the NextMailer I have had complaints of a CC: field containing the recipient's username @ my machines' hostname. I have the boxes configured like this. Mail's .mailrc file has record going to the ~/Mailboxes/Outgoing.mbox/mbox and there is a soft link between ~/mbox (Mail's inbox) and ~/Mailboxes/Active.mbox/mbox. I have one mail in the incoming mbox with a "don't delete` subject so mbox doesn't get deleted if I should have emptied either. The top of my .mailrc files looks like this: set record=/borrel/Mailboxes/Outgoing.mbox/mbox set hold set keep set askcc set showto set verbose set ignore (the rest are aliases for Mail.) Also, can someone please explain how to set up faces and one-word alias for the Nextmailer. The help files aren't really very helpful. - Barre Ludvigsen <borrel@dhhalden.no>
