[net.unix] Double-spaced text; mail pathnames

grt@hocda.UUCP (G.TOMASEVICH) (03/16/84)

Mark Brader says my script should be
	while read line; do echo "$line"; echo; done
A variant worked fine on another PDP, but even this still swallows
leading white space on this machine.  Anyway, the 'sed' scripts are simpler.

Peter Honeyman says I should have mailed, instead of posting, my
mistake.  That leads to my question:

How does one find a mail path when the news item says something like
	from ..!abc!def!xyz
and the computer doesn't know about 'abc' or 'def'?  How in general
does one find a path to a machine?  Several times I have gotten mail
back saying such-and-such a path is invalid.

For double spacing a files output try 'pr -td filename'.  This seems 
to be the simplest way to get unaltered output of a file in double 
spaced format.
