FROM - replace the FROM field
Usage: FROM [text]
The FROM command changes the FROM field of the current outgoing message.
The FROM field is normally filled automatically with your name and
electronic mail address. You can substitute some other text either
by using the FROM command or by using SET DEFAULT-FROM. MM will then
add a REPLY-TO field containing your name and electronic mail address.
Unless the FROM field contains your own electronic mail address, MM will
also add a SENDER field during mailing, which is not visible when you
use DISPLAY to look at the message.
If you want to change the name part on all your outgoing mail, change the
variable PERSONAL-NAME rather than DEFAULT-FROM.
If you want replies to go to someone else, leave the FROM field alone
and use the REPLY-TO command to add an address for replies.
The FROM command with no text inserts your name and userid as in
/etc/passwd (the default).
Example:
Send>display headers
From: Joseph Brennan <brennan@columbia.edu>
To: fuat
Subject: finishing up
Send>from The Office Upstairs
Send>display headers
From: The Office Upstairs
To: fuat
Subject: finishing up
Reply-To: Joseph Brennan <brennan@columbia.edu>
Note that the SENDER header field does not appear although it will be
added during mailing. You can change or erase the REPLY-TO field if
you want to.
