Yep (following up on myself - sorry), I see that my mail arriving on the newsgroup has the proper From: line. Am I correct to assume that this line was culled from the envelope From line? If so, then the user-mail-address apparently sets the envelope From line, not the message header From: line. -- Haines Brown KB1GRM
