	Again, I still have problems with rmail. It turns out that 4.2BSD
has two `rmail`s:
	1. does not do anything when I do `rmail x <file` but DOES deliver
the mail when I do `rmail bc-cis!x < file` it works (bc-cis is the name of
my local-host). In the latter case, rmail adds a "somewhere!" at the first
"From" line. I guess that it always put "somewhere" in the "From" line
unless there is a "From user.... remote from xxx" line in the stdin and then
it will put "xxx" in the "From" line instead of "somewhere". Why is all this
mass?
	2. is actually /bin/mail that is linked to "rmail". This one will
deliver mail when I do "rmail x < file" but it will put a "From bin" line
in the beginning of the mail. But, the bigest problem is that it takes the
body of the letter in stdin as the part of the "To:" line. Example:
	rmail x
	From: y
	To: x

	This is a test.
	<EOT>
will generate a "To: x.To.is.a.test" line !!??
