Fixing "From"s

Subscribers to KeyMail can now use a new feature that will fix the "From" portion of your e-mail. If you use a program such as Eudora to send your mail, you can set your return address to be your KeyMail account (yourname@keymail.com). But if you send e-mail from other programs or services, such as America On-line, you don't get a chance to specify your return address. It is automatically set to some other account. Often this will be where you have your mail forwarded. KeyMail can fix this.

You might want to change where it appears that your mail comes from for a variety of reasons. For example, you might want to subscribe to a mailing list and the mailing list program automatically figures out where to send from where the message came from. You want to have your mail sent through KeyMail, so you don't have to change it in the future, so you want your message to look like it came from you@keymail.com. Or you might be writing to someone and want to make sure that they are going to add your KeyMail address to their address book, so you want the message to look like it came from you@keymail.com. These are just two examples.

To allow KeyMail to fix your mail, you need to send your e-mail to "fixfrom@keymail.com". So that KeyMail knows who you are, so it can fix the From portion, you need to send the e-mail from where ever you have your mail forwarded. For example, if your mail is forwarded to an AOL account, you need to send the mail from the AOL account. Finally, the first line of the message should contain the e-mail address(es) to whom the fixed message should be sent. If there are multiple addresses, separate them by commas. If there are lots, you can use multiple lines, but make sure that each line of addresses ends in a comma. For example:

To: fixfrom@keymail.com
From: forwardaccount@aol.com
Subject: Whatever subject you want

destination@wherever.com,destination2@somewhere.com
The rest of the message.
will be turned into:
To: destination1@wherever.com,destination2@somewhere.com
From: you@keymail.com
Subject: Whatever subject you want

The rest of the message.
or for an example with multiple destinations:
To: fixfrom@keymail.com
From: forwardaccount@aol.com
Subject: Whatever subject you want

destination@wherever.com,destination2@somewhere.com,
destination3@someplaceelse.com
The rest of the message.
