The patch provided by Michael doesn't solve the problem at all.
There are three problems with the patch. The first is that
personal_mail_address isn't set in the default .lynxrc file. The
second is that the user can use the S)ettings screen to modify
personal_mail_address, which means that all this patch does is make it
a bit harder for the user to change the address. And, finally, it
doesn't provide a way to abort the posting.
} At LYNews.c:130, you'll see:
}
} /*
} * Get the mail address for the From header,
} * offering personal_mail_address as default.
} */
} addstr(_("\n\n Please provide your mail address for the From: header\n"));
} strcpy(user_input, "From: ");
} if (personal_mail_address)
} strcat(user_input, personal_mail_address);
} if (LYgetstr(user_input, VISIBLE,
} sizeof(user_input), NORECALL) < 0 ||
} term_message) {
} _statusline(NEWS_POST_CANCELLED);
} sleep(InfoSecs);
} fclose(fd); /* Close the temp file. */
} scrollok(stdscr, FALSE); /* Stop scrolling. */
} goto cleanup;
} }
}
} Move addstr down 4 lines and add an #ifdef 0 / #endif to get:
}
} /*
} * Get the mail address for the From header,
} * offering personal_mail_address as default.
} */
} strcpy(user_input, "From: ");
} if (personal_mail_address)
} strcat(user_input, personal_mail_address);
This line should be changed to the following:
{ char hostname[128];
strcat(user_input, getpwuid(getuid())->pw_name);
strcat(user_input, "@");
gethostname(hostname, 128);
strcat(user_input, gethostbyname(hostname)->h_name);
}
Of course, if the information is already available in one of more
variables, then those variables should be used. Also, the same thing
should be done for the code that handles mailto: URL's.
} #ifdef 0
} addstr(_("\n\n Please provide your mail address for the From: header\n"));
} if (LYgetstr(user_input, VISIBLE,
} sizeof(user_input), NORECALL) < 0 ||
} term_message) {
} _statusline(NEWS_POST_CANCELLED);
} sleep(InfoSecs);
} fclose(fd); /* Close the temp file. */
} scrollok(stdscr, FALSE); /* Stop scrolling. */
} goto cleanup;
} }
} #endif
This stuff should be replaced with something that will allow the
canceling of the post. That work is being left as an exercise for the
reader :-)

Another change that I would like to see is for the "session
start" syslog message to include the name of the account.
P.S. Michael, how's the work coming on the new version of Lynx?
