I just installed smail here and found that masscomp's mailx seems to
hang when lower-case r replying to mail sent by local users. I tried
the mailx.rc trick of "set sendmail=/bin/mail" but it still hangs. The
only fix I could muster was to modify smail to never add "(Full Name)"
to the "From:" line. This is only a problem for replying to local
mail. Little r replying to outside mail doesn't have this problem.
I'd appreciate any tips from folks who have successuflly installed
smail on a masscomp. (PS. This is smail 2.5).

Thanks,
