Well, it seems as though the mailer somewhere (I haven't traced it down yet)
is expanding the literal   $TZ   to    CST6CDT
(In case it does it to this note, that is dollar sign capital T capital Z,
or $ T Z without the spaces)

aka.  $TZ (as in REXX variable) is time zone (only guessing, but it makes sense
to me) and is being translated to CST (Central Savings Time) 6 (from Greenwich
Mean Time difference) CDT (Central Daylight Time).  This is a guess, but I
will bet that it is either the new version of mail we are using, or a bug in
the mailer.

What this means is:
If you received MONST and had long lines, replace the CST6CDT with $TZ and all
should be honky-dory.

Let me know,

Mike

p.s. I just sent this to myself with mail and it didn't do it, so
check with your postmaster.  I noticed the same problem when I transferred the
file from the 3B20 to the AS/9000N, and just received it without using the
mail exec.
