I am running a 3B1 and SVR3 and have been having trouble with Mailx. It also occurs on two other 3B1's and an Altos 3068 here in Tulsa. When responding the the "?" prompt with a carriage return, mailx will skip the next sequential message and then print the one following, ie. 1 - 3 - 5 - etc. If the message numbers are used however, it works fine. What do we have set wrong? Mail would be appreciated since I _sometimes_ miss reading the news. -- ========================================================================== Fast Enough - Never Is! | James A.

The problem is that CR is mapped to "next"; with autoprint on, this works because delete displays the next message automatically, but if autoprint is off you skip messages after a delete or save. No real fix is possible; you just have to use CR only if autoprint is set. -- Brandon S. Allbery, moderator of comp.sources.misc {well!hoptoad,uunet!hnsurg3,cbosgd,sun!mandrill}!ncoast!allbery
