I have a set up for several users. So I have

\internet\default which has \internet\default\yarn....etc in it.

Then I have \internet\alan\... for me

\internet\margaret\... for my wife

etc.

So my wife comes along and clicks an icon which runs:

mode co80,50
c:
cd \internet
set LOGDIR=c:\internet\margaret
yarn -f
set LOGDIR=

This uses the config file in c:\internet\margaret\yarn

I end up with several "out" directories, \internet\alan\out,
\internet\margaret\out etc and loop through them with a rexx script to
vsoup them.

I have an undistorted from: in the \internet\alan\yarn\config file and
a distorted one in the \internet\default\yarn\config. I use the alan
one for mail and the default one for news groups, using seperate icons
on the desktop to run yarn as above. Any mail that is not filtered, ie
not to margaret or to alan, is probably spam and goes in the default
INBOX so I can just look at the subject.

This was the set up until a few days ago. I have recently discovered
Yarf. So even though I writing this as user "default", it will get the
undistorted address in it. So the "alan" set up will probably go and I
shall filter mail to alan into a second "inbox" under default.
