Agreed, although that's not what I said.  The rmail command line 
addresses DO need to be rewritten or the dumb site is going to bounce 
it.  

I should say that I like 95% of smail 3.0.  The authors have obviously 
put alot of time and thought into it.  I could (and probably would) 
use it if it was just a little more flexible.
