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.
