I have 2 accounts, one at kos.sgh and one at bbs.sas . I would
like to forward all my mail from bbs.sas to kos.sgh. I heard 
that a .forward file is needed. Can anyone tell me how to do it?

I make use of several mail programs.
When I telnet to kos, I use pine, elm or Mail.
When I am using Windows 3.1/3.11, I use Euroda or MSMAIl.
Is there any way to make these program recognise that I
have 2 accounts, and could mail from them individually.
i.e. I am physically at SGH but my E-mail appears to be from
bbs.sas. kos is a SUN Solaris 2.x machine and my PC is
running Windows 3.1/3.11. As the E-mail administrator, I
need to reconfgiure each program so that it can recognise 
2 accounts. Any way to do this ? 2 sets of binaries are needed,
1 for Sun solaris, 1 for Windows 3.1/3.11.

I am also having a slight problem with 
pine/elm/mail/MSmail/Euroda. How do I set up the Sun Solaris and
Windows 3.1/3.11 so that it will automatically perform
uudecoding of E-mails and unstuffit(unhqx, for mac files)
from Elm/Pine/Mail(sun solaris) and MSMAIl/Euroda(windows 
3.1/3.11), 2 set of binaries are needed, 1 for SUn and 1 for
windows 3.1/3.11.

Thank you for your help.

Happy halloween,

On your bbs.sas account create a .forward file in your home directory
that contains the email address that the mail should be forwarded to.

>have 2 accounts, and could mail from them individually.

I use pine's commmand line flags to do this, e.g.:

  pine -p pinerc.kos

to use a different pinerc file.  Note that in order to change the From 
line in pine you need to compile it with ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM not 
commented out.

Another thing that I do is link my Mail and mail directories so that
pine and elm use the same default directories for mail folders.  I
have details about this at:

>3.1/3.11), 2 set of binaries are needed, 1 for SUn and 1 for

How about just using  MIME on all your platforms?

Good luck,
Nancy
