*** PROCEDURE TO ADD A Reply-To: HEADER TO YOUR TIN POSTINGS ***

This procedure will tailor your Unix logon environment so that tin will
add a Reply-To: address to all your postings.  You only need to do this
once.  This will NOT affect pine, just tin.

1) Log into lexus.

2) Edit your Unix environment startup file.  Do this by typing
   the command:

	pico .profile

3) Your screen should look something like:

	#
	#  Profile  7.23.97
	#
	# Example .profile for users of the Bourne or Korn shell
	#
	# Set location of mail inbox
	#
	MAIL=/usr/spool/mail/$USER
	[ -d /var/mail ] && MAIL=/var/mail/$USER

4) Hit the DOWN_ARROW key four times and the LEFT_ARROW key once.
   This will place your cursor after the word "shell."

5) Hit the ENTER key.  That will open up a blank line.  Type in
   two lines reading:

	REPLYTO="gumby@invalid.net"
	export REPLYTO

   Of course, substitute in your email address.  Other than that, you
   MUST do this exactly as indicated:  use quotes as shown, REPLYTO in
   upper case, no spaces except after the word "export".

   When you do this, your screen should look something like:

	#
	#  Profile  7.23.97
	#
	# Example .profile for users of the Bourne or Korn shell
	REPLYTO="gumby@invalid.net"
	export REPLYTO
	#
	# Set location of mail inbox
	#
	MAIL=/usr/spool/mail/$USER
	[ -d /var/mail ] && MAIL=/var/mail/$USER

6) Editing is complete.  Type CTRL/X to leave pico.  Pico will ask
   you:

	Save modified buffer (ANSWERING "No" WILL DESTROY CHANGES) ?

   IF YOU'VE MADE A MISTAKE press "n" to discard the changes you've
   made.  Then start over at the beginning.

   Otherwise, if everything is alright, press the "y" key.  pico will ask:

	File Name to write : .profile

   Just hit ENTER.

7) You are done.  Type "exit" to leave Unix.  Then login again.  You
   need to have the environment modification take effect.  If you are
   at all curious, you can use the Unix "env" command to see all of
   your environment settings.  For instance, you'll note that HOME
   tells you the pathname of your home directory.  You should see your
   new REPLYTO setting as well.

8) It would be a good idea to post a message to utexas.test and view
   it with the tin CTRL/H command to verify this is working.
