Of course emacs ignores it. Emacs doesn't even know about it: that file is for smail. That line should result in all your mail going out with "From: Rob MacWilliams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" regardless of what your MUA put on the "From:" line. Sounds like you have a smail problem, not an emacs problem. Carey Evans writes: > Probably smail only inserts a From: when the MUA doesn't, and VM puts its > own in. That line should always change the "From:". -- John Hasler This posting is in the public domain. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Do with it what you will.
