Ahh, I always forget about that. But it would be easy to add the functionality to add a "-f" option; that would work for sendmail and any sendmail-compatible MTS. >>I'm just not happy with the overloading of an existing header. > >Why a header, rather than an environment setting? Well ... I have no real attachment to a header. That's was more of a suggestion. It occurs to me that you might want to change it on a per-message basis. So maybe an environment variable, and a header to override it. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
