I use exmh as my mail program (TCL/TK over MH basically). I've been able to
modified the Compose template easily enough to be certain that the From and
Reply address are my actual user email on my ISP (not my user on my home Linux
box).
Problem is that the reply template isn't a straight forward format. It pulls
information from other areas and generates the template. It shows a return
address of username at jemcevitt@mindspring.com where the username@ is my home
user name (not same as mindspring account).
This is the template:
%(lit)%(formataddr %<{reply-to}%?{from}%?{sender}%?{return-path}%>)\
%<(nonnull)%(void(width))%(putaddr To: )\n%>\
%(lit)%(formataddr{to})%(formataddr{cc})%(formataddr(me))\
%<(nonnull)%(void(width))%(putaddr cc: )\n%>\
%<{fcc}Fcc: %{fcc}\n%>\
%<{subject}Subject: Re: %{subject}\n%>\
%<{date}In-reply-to: Your message of "\
%<(nodate{date})%{date}%|%(pretty{date})%>."%<{message-id}
%{message-id}%>\n%>\
--------
I've tried various configures and can't get it to change. Anyone have any
suggestions on how I get the from address to be my ISP account? There may be
someway to put a rule in sendmail.cf to filter it, but those rules are even
more confusing.
Thanks
