Well, let me explain why I think that is a bug. By not parsing the elmheaders file, you allow the user to both include a Reply-To: in elmheaders, and to specify a different Reply-To: through the elm interactive interface. As a result, the outgoing mail has multiple Reply-To: fields to different addresses, and that is probably a semantically meaningless (or at least ambiguous) condition. At very least, maybe we could ask for elmheaders to be parsed and read into the interactive elm interface as a request for a new feature. Thanks, Will Estes Internet: westes@netcom.com
