JAGab68639 / SR 8606184875: elm fails to expand the user/system aliases. 2. JAGac59567 / SR 8606126726: elm adds an extra empty attachment whenever a mail with attachment is sent. 3. JAGad40143 / SR 8606170879: mailfrom/newmail does not understand the new configuration parameter 'folderperms' used in elmrc file. It displays the message, 'I can't understand sort key "folderperms" in line 226 in your ".elm/elmrc" file' 4. JAGad45662 / SR 8606176424: elm sometimes does not display the attachments in the mail message. 5. JAGad50499 / SR 8606181282: elm does not work properly in certain conditions. 6. JAGad62462 / SR 8606193250: elm does not prompt for alias addresses and fails to create new aliases in the command mode. 7. JAGad93852 / SR 8606224764: elm formats the "To:" header field incorrectly in the reply. Defect Description: PHNE_24522: 1. JAGab68639 / SR 8606184875: The total number of aliases present in elm database is not getting set to the proper value when elm enters into the alias mode. Resolution: Code has been modified to set the total number of aliases properly in the alias mode. 2. JAGac59567 / SR 8606126726: elm adds an extra MIME boundary when a mail with an attachment is sent. Resolution: Code has been modified not to add an additional MIME boundary. 3. JAGad40143 / SR 8606170879: The mailfrom and newmail utilities are unable to distinguish between the 'folderperms' and 'folders' parameters specified in the elmrc file. Resolution: Code has been modified to resolve the same. 4. JAGad45662 / SR 8606176424: elm looks for MIME end boundaries in mail attachments. It does not display those messages which do not have a MIME end boundary since the length count of such attachments is not updated. Resolution: Code has been modified to update the length count of the messages, which do not have MIME end boundaries. 5. JAGad50499 / SR 8606181282: elm does not work properly in certain conditions. Resolution: Code has been modified to resolve the same. 6. JAGad62462 / SR 8606193250: elm always obtains the non-success return value even in the case of success. Hence elm does not prompt for alias addresses in command mode. Resolution: The return value is handled properly in case of success. 7. JAGad93852 / SR 8606224764: elm does not extract the host name properly while formatting the 'To' address in the reply header. Resolution: Code has been modified to interpret the host names properly.
