Hi,

the Debian bug tracker contains has a message [1] asking to add a reference
to generate_email_from to the sections of realname, username and hostname.

[1] http://bugs.debian.org/323690

Here's a part of the communication:
|> > When replying by email, slrn ignores some options such as username and
|> > hostname, defaulting to system settings. In my case this doesn't
|> > produce a valid email address for the From: header.
|> 
|>     Does this help?
|> 
|> | set generate_email_from 1

|Looks like it'll do the job, thanks. I didn't know what I was looking
|for though. Perhaps a note could be added to the sections for username
|and hostname pointing out you might want to use generate_email_from as
|well.

What's the opinion of others, especially the documentation team?

Bye, Jörg.
