Thanks, Teemu. I should have known (or found this) but never thought to look for mailrc. I haven't used vanilla mail since about 1986 (with at&t pc, small local network, and uucp for anything outside the building). I'd completely forgotten about .mailrc. I had to do some editing on my .mail_alias file (still have some to do), but it was a small file and needed to be pruned anyway. Thanks again, John V. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
