I used that too for a while. But you can also use: set from="Sam Watkins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" Or probably a bit better: set [EMAIL PROTECTED] set realname="Sam Watkins" In both cases you need to set: set use_from=yes > I don't think the "reply-to" address is compulsory - I don't set it > and my mail seems to work. Correct. Usually when others reply to your email their program will send it to the address you specified in the From header. When you want them to send it to a different address, you can set the Reply-To header. -- Maurits van Rees | http://maurits.vanrees.org/ [Dutch/Nederlands] "Let your advance worrying become advance thinking and planning." - Winston Churchill -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
