Smail, From header

[J. LILLIBRIDGE]

Hi.

I'm running Debian Linux at home.  When I send e-mail out, I want to have
the From: header say [EMAIL PROTECTED]  I've figured out how to get
nmsu.edu put in there (instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED]).  But my login here at
home is just jl.  What is the best way to make sure the From: field
is adjusted?  I'd rather not change my login name on my debian box
to jlillibr.  I would want to have similar setups for other users.
I'm running smail version 3.2-3.

Thanks,
Joe

With some mail user agents, e.g. mutt (available from debian-non-US), you
can add/modify arbitrary headers. E.g., on a laptop system, my account is
ray; I have a my_hdr From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (J.H.M. Dassen) in
my .muttrc, and this setting gets used.

HTH,
Ray
