For anyone else interested, Ishmail is a GUI email app (MUA) which also facilitates multiple identities. All you need to do is get Ishmail to add an X-Identity header which is displayed (if you wish) at the top of the 'Compose' window underneath 'Subject'. You add an identifying name in the X-Identity box. If I add 'gsmh' Ishmail looks for a folder called 'gsmh' in my home directory. In that folder I have three files: '.headers', '.from' and '.signature'. You just need to put into each file whatever you want to appear on emails from that particular identity. Once it is set up it is really simple. You should be able to see the new X-Identity header in this posting. If you would like a GUI alternative to Pine, you might like to give Ishmail a try. Ishmail was a commercial app but is now in the public domain and under active development. It is based on Motif and compiles cleanly against the now free OpenMotif. An excellent, fully featured product! The new Ishmail web site is: http://ishmail.sourceforge.net/ -- Phillip Deackes Using Storm Linux
