[Dixonary] Re: New way? No way, for me.

Dan, I don't know the internal workings of the TAPCIS software. It has to
interact with CompuServe's HMI interface. The From and Reply To are
included in the stuff at the end of Email messages, at least as I see them.
But I don't know whether TAPCIS scans that material to decide what it
should put in the "from" line or not. And I don't know, but I *think* that
some of what appears in a CompuServe Mail message can be controlled by a
user's settings.

TAPCIS may depend on some information provided by the HMI interface, and I
don't know whether the HMI interface provides both the From and Reply To
information or not.

To really work properly, TAPCIS should include both the Reply To and From
addresses in its Email headers. But since it only provides one piece of
information about the message's sender, I am assuming it has to use the
Reply To address so that replies can go to the correct place, whether by
its choice or the HMI's choice.

I scanned back over a few messages, and most do have *some* name in the
From line. In some cases it is a whole name; in some it is just a surname
(last name). In Judy Madnick's, there is no name at all, just an Email
address. I don't know if there are others like that or not.

For me, this is all a temporary irritation. Once I get everything set up
with the TAPCIS.COM forum, I will no longer forward Coryphaeus messages to
my CompuServe Email address. And eventually I will close my CompuServe
account entirely; there is no longer anything there for me.
