08.12 How can I customize my mail headers for mail and posting?
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 1992 00:00:00 -0800 Headers can be modified or appended to by creating the variables mail-header (for replies) and news-header (for posts and followups) in the init file. You can include any headers that you want; separate multiple headers with semi-colons. For example: set mail-header From: Joe Smith <js@cc.edu>;Reply-To: js@cc.edu; Organization: CC University set news-header From: Joe Smith <js@cc.edu>;Reply-To: js@cc.edu; Organization: CC University Note that these lines are split for readability--the value of these variables must appear on a single line. In addition, do not insert a space between semi-colons and the next header. A Reply-To header is useful when your system generates either an unwanted or blatantly wrong return address for you. If this header is present, then mailers use it instead of the system generated From header. A From header is useful when you want to change how your real name appears to nn readers, but you don't want to change it (or can't) on your system. Warning: only do this if you're sure you can create a RFC 822 compliant From header.
