That is another issue entirely, the discussion about AT&T stemed from
the default /bin/mail that does not put in a blank line.  PMX and its
/bin/mail does put in the blank line, so its not a problem.  Its
only the old /bin/mail that causes the problem.  Using Elm solves that
problem when you send messages, it cannot figure out what to do for
read ones.

PMX mailers would have a similar problem for other non standard headers
if the blank line was missing.  Its a universal problem, even AT&T has
to live with it.
