Scott, I think I may have phrased the question wrong. I can put other email addresses in the From: line of the .eml file. I was interested in adding an alias (I am not sure if its called that or not) to the email address.
So the email could be coming from [EMAIL PROTECTED], but the recipient would see an alias of "Steve Flook" in the From: column in Outlook. Like your email address has an common name of "R Scott Perry" but the actual address in [EMAIL PROTECTED] Examining the headers of email address shows a format of FROM: "Common Name" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> but that doesn't do the trick with the .eml file. Is that a limitation of imail1.exe? Steve -----Original Message----- From: R.

However, you might instead want to try: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >When I recieve the email the From: line in Outlook or the web messaging >interface is "me". How do I use an alias? The above should work ("From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"). Have you checked the headers of the E-mail that is received to see exactly how they appear? Does it work with the default "From: postmaster@%LOCALHOST%"? Part of the problem is that Declude has to use the imail1.exe program to send mail, and it is *very* picky. For example, it usually requires that you tell it the domain that the user is on, and it won't let you add your own From: header. -Scott --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] This E-mail came from the Declude.Virus mailing list.
