Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Howdy, On my main machine (486DX4 with 32 megs ram) I have installed elm as my mail reader. After setup I created file aliases.text per Elm User Guide and ran 'newaliases' the result was that I could type 'me' at the Reply-To: prompt and have my full name and email inserted automatically. Now the problem, same install on laptop same proceedure and set up to duplicating .profile on both machine (using bash). Same aliases.text file in ~/.elm/, same 'newaliases', --- NO ALIAS!. It reports the same number of aliases no matter what I put in the aliases.text file (and I put some very colorful aliases. I've had both machines up and running at the same time - every thing looks the same, created two (one on each machine) new aliases.text file and ran 'newaliases' on both. Result - desktop machine - new aliases are create and work in elm. Laptop machine - NO new aliases and total failure. Something I've missed??? -- Keith ------------------------------------------------------- Keith Leonard - kleon@bellsouth.net Webmaster - http://www.rexart.com - Rex Art Supplies ------------------------------------------------------- Character is what you are in the dark - John Warfin -------------------------------------------------------
