If you decide to forward a message to yourself and start typing your own address, MT-NW will use your OS X address book entries for auto-fill. That one drove me nuts after changing e-mail address until I figured it out. -- Paul Sture

Comcast is an example. Also, when sending direct email, you generally have less reason to munge your address, as most people do on Usenet. You might actually *want* the recipient to be able to reply. -- Barry Margolin, barmar(a)alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE post questions in newsgroups, not directly to me *** *** PLEASE don't copy me on replies, I'll read them in the group ***

It does if you're sending the mail from MTNW, e.g. if you use News->Reply via Email or News->Forward. -- Barry Margolin, barmar(a)alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE post questions in newsgroups, not directly to me *** *** PLEASE don't copy me on replies, I'll read them in the group ***

If your newsserver allows munging, but your mailserver doesn't, and you want to munge your Usenet posts (as I think most people do, although I don't), you need to configure multiple personalities in MTNW. -- Barry Margolin, barmar(a)alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE post questions in newsgroups, not directly to me *** *** PLEASE don't copy me on replies, I'll read them in the group ***
