	On our machines, each has its own /var/spool/mail, so, if I get
my mail at, for example, paris, I can not read it on berlin.  In order
to be able to read my mail on any machine that I choose, I'm forwarding
my mail to a file that's generally accessable.
	The problem is, that if someone sends me mail with an included
message, it comes in as two pieces of mail.  I've determined that the
reason for this is that there is no '>' placed in front of a
"From derge... " line.  This only happens if I forward mail to a file.
	Is this something that is correctable by changing the sendmail
configuration or by some other method or am I stuck with this "two for
the price of one" deal :-)?
	Note: I'm using a Sparcstation 1, SunOS Version 4.0.3c, and I'm
using /usr/ucb/Mail to read my mail.
