>Organization:
>Environment:
The send-pr.sh script of Feb 23, 2000.
>Description:
The send-pr shell script sets MAIL_AGENT unconditionally. On
systems with dialup access, where sendmail might require some
custom invocation command line, this fails to use the default
value of MAIL_AGENT for the user who runs it.
>How-To-Repeat:
You can see the relevant command in the installed version of
send-pr.sh script, by running:
grep MAIL_AGENT `which send-pr`
By changing MAIL_AGENT=".." to MAIL_AGENT="${MAIL_AGENT:-..}"
any existing value of MAIL_AGENT is preserved.
