I add:

If you can't get the sendmail.cf file fixed (like at a big company),
most mailers allow you to put headers in your mail. ELM lets me do
this with the file .elm/elmheaders. I put the header:
	Reply-To: duane@zk3.dec.com

RFC-822 compliant mailers are supposed to use this field over the
"from" or anything else to reply to.


Sorry, the hairy green toads are on sabbatical today.


BTW, Bob, sorry to hear about the radio problem. Can your friend
at the dealer help you out?
