  • netmail name/alias

    From Charles Claypoole@1:103/705 to all on Thu Oct 15 19:16:21 2026
    Is there anyway to set netmail to use real name, and still use aliases in echomail, or even specify which netmail can use alias or not?

    I'm probably overlooking this, but any assistance would be appreciated.

    For FidoNet netmail, it's one setting for all networks/addresses: SCFG->Networks->FIdoNet->Send NetMail Using Alias
