So if you have any replies, please email them to rick@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 ", 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.
