<h2>Description</h2>

<p>FROMFIELDS specify the message header fields MHonArc will search to
determine who the author of a message is (which determines the
value of the <b>$FROM*$</b> resource variables).
Each field will be checked in the ordered specified.
</p>
<p>The value of the FROMFIELDS is a colon separated
list of message header fields to check.
</p>

<!-- *************************************************************** -->

<h2>Default Setting</h2>

<pre>
from:mail-reply-to:reply-to:return-path:apparently-from:sender:resent-sender
</pre>

<p>This resource is intended to reflect who the author is and not necessarily
where replies of the message should be directed.  This is why the
<tt>From: </tt> field has higher precendence than the reply-to fields.
However, if it is desired that it reflect where replies should be
directed, then put <tt>mail-reply-to</tt> and <tt>reply-to</tt> first.
</p>
