I think that's what I'm stuck with, and I can readily use the unique hostname of my laptop when it's plugged into my campus network. The most common message-IDs I see, however, use the place from where the message was sent, so I was hoping to do that. No easy answers on doing so, though, so I'll fall back to using my hostname from work. Thanks for all the nice replies. JDO
