You may ask why this is not a subgroup of "net.news". Simple. the notesfile system is not the news program. It may accomplish similar goals, but it isn't news. I have a number of bugs which were reported and which have solutions. I will submit these in a few days. Ray Essick

I recently came upon a bug and I would be interested in hearing if
anyone else has seen it. The problem has to do with too many files
being open at one time. I had been showing how to use notes to one of
my cohorts and decided to try and send mail. Alas, the Subject: line
was deleted and a message (you've gotta be fast to see it!) came up
saying too many files. Any ideas?
Also - at present we are a test site for the new mail that uses
addresses of the form: user@site.network To make this work w/notes, I
made a one line change in mailit.c I no longer have the original
line, but I am sure that you can deduce what it was. The change looks
like this:
mailit.c:
line 53:
sprintf (whoto, "%s@%s", author -> aname, unique -> sys);
Since this is the mail standard of the future (please, no flames!),
it might be a good idea to ifdef it into the code.
Cheers...
