	Oh fudge Peter. I don't see anything wrong with sendmail.  Complaining
 about EMACS based mailers is one thing ( a problem you have fixed with that
 'cute' and nasty message of yours about screwed-up mailers emanating from 
 rmail ( remember the '#define bitch' in rmail.c !!)) but complaining about 
 sendmail is another. Sendmail works and 'your' UUCP has never complained about
 it!  And we are not even running the standard 'sendmail', but a hacked version 
 of it. So please lay off.
