I don't know what the problem is, but an easy way to debug this stuff is to:

	1. unplug your modem.
	2. send a message with elm (make subject test1)
	3. send a message with mail or mailx (subgect=test2)
	4. cd /usr/spool/uucp/uunet and look though the data files to 
	   see what the differences are (and what may be causing the 
	   the problem).

I am currently running elm 2.3 pl0 without any problems.  (You might
want to check comp.whatever.elm for patch 5 that was just posted.  Maybe
it has a fix for the problem)
unplug your modem
