I had this problem as well. If you run COnfigure again and answer "Yes" to
the "Do you get valid From: & Reply-To:" question, I believe that will solve
your problem. I have Elm 2.2 PL11 and smail 2.5 and I don't have any
problems (Except when some systems use smail and some use stock bin/mail).

That brings up another point. Is there any way to get elm to look at the
first from line that smail put in your header??

This message didn't contain the full path of the sender because some of the
sites didn't put the smail info into the message. Yet the information is
right there in the second line. Why is this?? Is there anything I can do
about it?? It really makes trying to reply to a message a bit of a dicey
proposition!!  :-(
