Actually, send-pr(1) already provides this capability, though not via a command-line option. You can either edit its config file, or set the MAIL_AGENT environment variable before invoking it. As seen in /usr/bin/send-pr around line 59, the default value for MAIL_AGENT is "/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t". I find that adding -froam@ringlet.net to the list of options helps sometimes :) That is, instead of just 'send-pr', run something like: $ env MAIL_AGENT='/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t -fsobrado@acm.org' send-pr G'luck, Peter -- Peter Pentchev roam@ringlet.net roam@FreeBSD.org PGP key: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint FDBA FD79 C26F 3C51 C95E DF9E ED18 B68D 1619 4553 If you think this sentence is confusing, then change one pig.
