I recently saw a reference to "getting mailx from The Store!". I
check the version of the catalog I have. 9/01/87. No bueno.
Is there a version of the catalog newer than that? I check
last month, and there wasn't.
Anyway. Where do I get mailx for the 3b1, ver 3.0?

It's in the AT&T "Private Department" along with Honey DanBer and some other stuff. (I haven't had a 7300/3b1 since March, so I may be speaking from ignorance, but I don't believe those "Private" things have become public.) --Sean

Now, what can us po' folk do to try and get that changed? Is there anyone we should write in such an attempt, or is this one of those decisions that is controlled by lawyers? I don't have to have everything, but there are some "Private" things I'd like to have. (Aw, come on, ATT, think of this as a bone tossed to us faithful dogs who liked the UNIX-PC enough to buy one before the fire-sale!) -- Steve Wampler {....!arizona!naucse!sbw}

The only area I find it lacking in is that it can not parse the >From line, so if the sender's mailer doesn't put a From: line in, it doesn't know where the mail came from and can't autoreply or display a correct header. But this is no big deal, and I'm told this will be fixed in the future. If you don't feel like building it yourself, you're welcome to snarf it off of my system. It's MUSH 6.2 plus two additional fixes supplied by the author. Take the following files out of my ~uucp : mush.1.Z (about 100K) mush_help.Z (about 8K) put this and your mush.rc in /usr/lib/mailx mush.rc (this is optional. This is just mine, catered to my tastes. It also has key bindings for the UNIX PC console in curses mode. The curses mode may have problems on 3.0's broken curses. I use 3.51a.)
