Cone 0.66 version number and default From: address

Hi Sam,

I've just compiled cone 0.66. Upon startup, it shows:

Welcome to Cone 0.65 (UTF-8)

Don't you want to bump up the version number?

I also found this in the file mymessage.C in the source code:

a= string(pw ? pw->pw_name:"nobody") + " <at> " +
                        mail::hostname();

The consequence of this is that if I compose a message from the main menu 
(ie. outside of any account), the From: header of the message defaults to 
unix_username@..., instead of the email address I configured
under 
setup. It is annoying to have to change that by hand (and that's when I 
remember to change it; sometimes I forget).

Wouldn't it be better if cone used the configured email address from the 
setup, rather than defaulting to username@...?

Anand

Yup.

That's configured email addressES, as in plural, and that specific setting 
isn't what it appears to be.

Okay, so how do I get cone to use one of my configured addresses, instead of 
defaulting to unix_username@...?

I've also just noticed that even though I have configured a master password, 
cone asks me for my password on the SMTP server when I send email the first 
time. It's not saving the SMTP server password when I quit cone. I thought 
that if I configure a master password, then my SMTP server password would be 
remembered permanently.

deleting messages in local Maildir

Hi,

I have just installed cone 0.66 and so far it works
very well exept for one thing:

I am accessing a local Maildir which works so far but
when I try to delete messages nothing happens. The
messages get marked as "Deleted" but they are still
there in the list and readable.
What am I doing wrong?

Ben

You need to press 'X', for “expunge”.

Thanks, I must have been blind. Sorry for the stupid
question.

From: line?

I see a thread on this, but no resolution.

How can I change the default From: line to be something OTHER THAN
unix-name@...?

I.E. I'd like to make it name@...

Thanks!
