Which means the easiest way out is to use ones 'login name' as 'host name' or vis-versa. ray@comarre.com said: > the man page for exmh includes this vague reference: > "Aliases User Interface. A browser for your MH aliases lets you define > new aliases and insert aliases into mail messages." I am aware of this feature and use it when I put the From: alias in the header. And I was mistaken earlier that exmh will not accept Reply-To:. I must have made a typo when I tried it. Then based on your earlier mail it is better to use Reply-To: than From: in the mail header.
