Hi,
I currently don't have news access; I am just getting my enviroment
set up for my new company. So if you have any replies, please email
them to rick at NRC.COM. An alias there knows the uglies of how to reach
me via uucp.
I am running SCO Xenix 386 2.3.2, and have installed smail (v2.5,
5/30/87) ontop of SCOs standard mail-over-uucp. I have also updated
to SCOs XNX129 update for UUCP. I am using MUSH for the reader. I
have two problems with my setup:
1) A number of system utilities assume the mailer can handle the
syntax "mail -s <subject> <name>", but the svbinmail which comes with
smail objects to the -s parameter.
2) Some where in the delivery chain (I think the original SCO mail)
messes up the headers, so that the from: and subject: lines are not
identifiable to mush or mail. Here is a sample header. Somewhere
along the line, something added the first header, making the second
(real) header unseen by the reader.
