When a user sends mail, two data files are created - one containing the 
text of the mail message, the other containing the instructions for 
execution of rmail on the remote system.

When a user sends a copy of his original message, four data files are 
created.

The text of the mail message is send to the central communication point 
two times. NOT necessary to send the text file two times.

Think of a mail message of 30 pages mailed to one site with a long cc 
list of peoble on the same site. Can't rmail take care the long cc list 
with one execution ?

If the uucp connection is a dial up Modem, Money and time can be saved.
The must be a way to make this more efficient.

I appreciate any comments or ideas.
