This question has been answered in elog:55 .

I changed that behaviour, so from 2.0.5 on the command line port setting has 
precedence over the configuration file (as it should be).

Yes there is an option

Use Email from = xxxx

see documentation.

Right now it is not possible to easily include pictures into the message body, but I put it on the wishlist. Of course you can always refer to external pictures if you submit your text as HTML and put the proper tags there like this one:

and you can even scale them like

but of course this requires to have that image stored somewhere else. I will probably add a feature like

att:name.gif

which will reference a picture from the attachment, and will be converted to the full picture name after submitting that message.

Version 2.0.5 of elog has been released today. Among various bugfixes, the 
display speed for threaded lists has been improved significantly. Display 
all messages of this forum and press the reload button to see the 
difference.

I found a problem in the elogd.c code, which might cause that proplem 
sometimes. The fix is available from

http://midas.psi.ch/cgi-bin/cvsweb/elog/elogd.c

If you need a windows executable, please let me know.

That should not be necessary, since elogd reads in the configuration file at 
each access, so it can be modified externally without problem (although the 
internal configuration should be the preferred way...)

I will have some spare time towards the end of August, so I hope to work on 
these requests next month.

Having multi-line attributes would be pretty difficult since it would break 
the way the database works (one attribute at a line). So for now, you have to 
use the text box and the reply functionality to deal with problems and fixes 
(like for this entry).

I implemented experimentally RSS feeds into Elog. Before releasing this new
addition, I would like to collect some experience with it. This forum now
supports RSS feeds, for which you can subscribe with a RSS feed reader like
Mozilla Firefox. Please give it a try and send me any feedback.

For an introduction to RSS feeds, please see 

http://www.webreference.com/authoring/languages/xml/rss/intro/

To subscribe to a logbook, enter following URL into your RSS reader:

http://<your-elog-host.domain>/<logbook>/elog.rdf

From the newest Mozilla Firefox browser, you can also click on the RSS box at
the lower right corner of the browser (see attachment).
