The problem is rmail itself, and its idea of insisting on From_. I don't know which ancient environment Eric has been designing this for... i assume he might have had a reason for it, but for all "modern" environments, /bin/rmail can safely be replaced by sendmail. Perhaps configurations where only old UUCP mailers communicate together (without intervening RFC-822 mailers) might be the cause, perhaps there's no From: line then so From_ will be important. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
