I was having problems with Messenger not properly storing Sent messages, so I changed the Messenger configuration for "Save a copy.." to send a "bcc" to the folder I am using to store copies of sent mail. On my account the folder is called "sent". I use the address "twk+sent@unity,ncsu.edu" as the address and a copy of the message is mailed directly into the sent folder. In this way, you are bypassing the internal mechanism that saves copies and instead "mailing" the copy to your sent folder. Caveats : - you must set "anyone p" permissions on the sent folder - in our case, sendmail converts the user portion of the address "twk+sent" to all lower case, so the sent folder name must be all lower case. - messages in the "sent" box appear as unread I have been using this method for at least 2 years. I have had no problems. If you mail a copy to your sent folder, perhaps it won't alter the header. FYI, we are also running 1.5.19 (and planning to upgrade if we can get SASL to work) Cheers, Tom -- Tom Karches email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Systems Administrator phone : 919.515.5508 NCSU Information Technology
