FWIW you could build and locally install your own copy of 1.3.27, but if you note to your SysAdmin that 1.2.5 has a security hole and that it would be as effective to build 1.3.27 when building 1.2.5.1 you might get the latest version on the system :-) 1.3.27 would be good practice for the forthcoming 1.4.0, too; it's due RSN. % % Say I have an alias in my alias list that reads % alias theguys [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Good enough. % % I want to send an email to the alias theguys so when the emails are % sent % each recipient only sees their name in the to: header Nope; that would require three different messages to three different destinations. % % So I put theguys in the to: field but % joe sees [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the to: field % jack sees [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the to: field % etc % % I realise I could send the message "To:" myself and bcc the group % alias but that is not quite the same thing. It isn't, but that's pretty much the way you'd have to do it. % % Also, and alternatively, can mutt keep the alias in the to: field % but still email the list of the expanded alias % --- I realise that system wide aliases can be set % up but you have to be sysadmin to do this. % This would ALSO be a nice feature to have. % -other emailers can do it I believe Let's see... So you want the headers to look like To: TheGuys Bcc: joe@, jack@, tony@ or perhaps just To: TheGuys: joe@, jack@, tony@; The second entry is your key, and you'll find that the first entry will actually look like To: TheGuys :; when it's properly written. If you want the first entry's behavior, you can probably whip up a send-hook command that will act when sending to all three of these fellows and rewrite the To: and Bcc: headers appropriately. I don't believe there's a way to recognize an alias itself but instead the resolved addresses, so that might get sticky. % % Perhaps these 2 features are planned for a future release? The former won't (can't!) happen, and the latter is already possible :-) % % -- % Aleks Owczarek HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
