It is rarely necessary to change user names unless you are in a truly multi-user situation (i.e. more than one person is using the newsbase). Look in the documentation under "Automatic Reply-To, From and Full name headers, and signature file selection" to see how to set different "identities" for different groups/folders. Then, assuming you log on as the super user, so you can see all the mail folders, you can have your contact names filled in automatically, depending what group or folder you are reading. -- CPPNEWS news/mail reader for DIS.
