[net.news.b] Why does recmail like /bin/mail?

david@bragvax.UUCP (David DiGiacomo) (10/17/84)

Why does recmail go to such lengths to give the article to /bin/mail?
What difference does it make if /usr/ucb/Mail gets it (assuming the path
is not getting optimized twice) ?

Capital Mail prevents the user from specifying headers.
/bin/mail lets the user do his own headers.
That's why recmail uses /bin/mail instead of Mail.
