.forward not including part of message

[Coolmar]

Hi,

I am forwarding root's emails to my Outlook...however, the part that I need (shown below) is not forwarding. It is the very top of the email. Any ideas?

How are you forwarding?

Ideal way is via /etc/mail/aliases :

# Local aliases
root : sysadm
sysadm : gwild
gwild : gwild@mydomain.com

then issue a newaliases command.

Where do you get this message? If it is not saved in the text file which comes to your outlook then you won't be able to see it.

I just have the .forward and then my smtp mail account. If it did it with aliases, as you posted above, will that include the part of the message that I require?

Thanks!

Hi Coolmar,

What you have pasted in is the first three lines of a message in elm. The first line:

Message 25/25 cipo-ux1 Sep 15, 2006 01:00:55 pm -0400

is generated by the elm mail reader, and therefore, is not embedded anywhere in the message. The other two lines are self-explanatory, and should appear in Outlook.

Oh Darn...it is that first line that elm generates that I need.

Thanks,

Well...that info should be in the header of the email in Outlook - Open the email and click on "View -> Options"

You should see cipo-ux1 and the date.
