Re: ->get('From') vs. ->Sender vs. From:

I'm sorry Mitar.  I thought I was replying to the list each time instead 
of just you.

List?  My last reply to Mitar follows and I'll add I've been through the
Mail::Box documentation several times and can find no mention of how to
get the "message's envelope sender address" from a message in a mbox 
formatted folder.

This is a change/addition to a working script but because of a change ( or
rather new information about ) two programs -- that we do not have the
source code for -- I now need this in addition to the normal/regular
sender/from: information.

I did find a ->set(from => '[email protected]') method but haven't had a 
chance to try a ->get(from) -- verses ->get('from') to see if that works.
( differently? )

Any suggestions?


TIA,
Rod

Just finished looking at the mbox man page and the Mail::Box documentation
(and friends.)  The man page says I'm looking for the "message's envelope
sender address" from the postmark line.  I could find nothing similar in
the Mail::Box docs.  Heck I couldn't even find the '->sender' method
again.  8-(

It's not the reply-to I'm looking for.  That is pretty simple to get using
Mail::Box.

So for now I'll experiment to see if I can get what I need.
