An earlier post "mail headers - why do they differ? Sam Varghese " caused me to do a bit of investigation here, and I noted the same thing happening on my posts to this group. Since I don't have an MTA setup to pass my E-Mail on to the internet, I use the Road Runner SMTP & POP servers for all my external E-Mail MTA needs. I noticed that their servers were making "SENDER" line that was composed of my LAN username + the host name of the (supposed) SMTP server. You can probably see it on this post, where "dad" is the username only on my LAN.
Now here comes the interesting part. It only does this when I use the Netscape E-Mail client! It doesn't do this with KMAIL or OUTLOOK (blush). So it appears that Netscape is doing something that the other clients are not doing....or vice-versa, maybe. I have searched through all the config options that I can find in Netscape, but I can't see anything that seems to be wrong. Does anyone know of a config option that would change this behavior, OR is it possible to make another E-Mail client the default mailer whenever I am using Netscape?? (Like Kmail).
