     I just tried this this morning and Elm still displays:

/bin/rmail: illegal option --s

     With the patch to trap out the -s in svbinmail, mailx and mail now
working and incoming mail to aliases is functioning fine. I was soooo
used to Elm and now having to use mailx (yuucck). :-)

     I re-did the Configure routine and specified "v5" and re-compiled
everything. I appreciate the suggestions and will try anything. Thanks.
