Geez, Reg, there's no need to shout.

Valdis answered both of your questions, but it sounds like both of these
issues are really nmh issues.  This is one of the weaknesses and
strengths of exmh; it relies heavily on nmh for a lot of things.  So
yeah, there's nothing in exmh to adjust here, because those are all
nmh settings.  The downside is that unless you are knowledgable it's
sometimes hard to see which tool does what.

However, let me make a few alternate suggestions.

Regarding your From: line, assuming you have a stock nmh setup (it sounds
like you do), I think the SIMPLEST thing would be to place the following
line in your .mh_profile:

Local-Mailbox: "Dr. Reginald W. Clemens" <[email protected]>

Or really, whatever you want.  That sets it in a number of places, and
is better than just adjusting the components file.

If there are no other settings, nmh sets the default From: address to be
based on your local username and hostname.  Now, it's important to note
that nmh (and MH) pretty much ALWAYS did this (well, back in the old MH
days you could change exactly what it did, but you had to know what you
were doing).  It's only recently that the stock nmh configuration was
adjusted so that you could see what nmh would put in the From: header;
before it would just fill in the From: header with that information if
one wasn't included.  It sounds like you migrated to a new machine, and
that either you didn't move over your nmh configuration or you upgraded
to a newer version of nmh.

As Valdis pointed out, this is also controlled by the scan format.  The
default scan format does not include the size, but we do ship one called
"scan.size" that does include it.  Again, it doesn't sound like you moved
over your nmh configuration (specifically, your .mh_profile file).
