Template Draft Files Set Headers
[previous]

[table of contents] [index]
You can change the default header of your mail messages.
That's a handy way to put in changes that you want made to the headers
of all (or most) of the messages you send.
The first time you click the Compose Message button,
xmh runs the MH comp command and reads a copy of the header
that comp makes.
(It actually runs
comp -file tempfile -nowhatnowproc -nodraftfolder
and gets a copy of tempfile.)
It does the same kind of thing for the Reply and Forward
commands.
By default, those MH commands read the template draft header files
named components, replcomps, and forwcomps.
To change the xmh draft header, you can change those
template draft files.
For instance, if you make a components file like this:
To:
Reply-to: ehuser@asun.xxx.yyy.zzz
cc:
Fcc: outbox
Subject:
---------
that's what the default fields in your composition window will
look like when you use Compose Message.
Note that xmh only runs comp once per
xmh session and saves the result.
Therefore, if you change your components file, you'll need to
restart xmh for the changes to take effect there.
But xmh has to run the MH repl and forw commands
before each message that you reply to or forward.
Your changes to replcomps and forwcomps take effect right
away.
