SYNOPSIS:    Sender determination in mailtool

OS RELEASE:  Solaris 2.x

PRODUCT:

KEYWORDS:    ownership mailtool sender


DESCRIPTION:

There are times when it would be convenient to change the sender "from:"
when using mailtool.  The mail command has a "-f" option allowing this
feature however mailtool is much easier to use.  The question now arises
"how is the sender in mailtool determined ?". 


SOLUTION:

Two choices come to mind.  The first is the environmental variable
LOGNAME (incorrect choice), and the second is the user id (uid) of the
mailtool process (correct choice).
