Could those of you that are using some mail client in Emacs on w32 ... Microsoft is a corporation that endeavors to restrict both your economic freedom and mine. By that decision it has decided to require either that I behave illegally or that I transfer resources to it in a non-economic fashion. I have not done either and cannot help you directly. But in GNU/Linux, here are the RMAIL and mail setting that I specify in my .emacs file. You might adapt these: ;; Specify local inbox (setq rmail-primary-inbox-list '("/var/mail/bob")) ;; Do this to get mail directly from remote and local mail boxes: ;; (setq rmail-primary-inbox-list '("po:bob:fp.gnu.org" "/var/mail/bob")) ;; (setq rmail-pop-password-required t) ;; (setq rmail-pop-password "XXX") ;; (setq rmail-preserve-inbox nil) ;; Set this value so that the From field is correct (setq mail-host-address "bob@rattlesnake.com") ;; You must also set `user-mail-address' so that the From field is correct. (setq user-mail-address "bob@rattlesnake.com") ;; Set the `reply-to' field for mail so people don't automatically ;; reply to root rather than bob when I am using root. (setq mail-default-reply-to "bob@rattlesnake.com") ;; Do not automatically delete a message after it is copied to ;; another file using `o'. (setq rmail-delete-after-output nil) ;; Do not ask for confirmation when expunging (setq rmail-confirm-expunge nil) ;; Automatically display summary (setq rmail-display-summary t) My mail-user-agent's value is sendmail-user-agent, which is the default. -- Robert J.
