[comp.mail.uucp] NeXT uucp

One thing to watch out for in uucp from a NEXT is that a widely
distributed version of the mailer on the Next system was sending mail
to uux (i.e., outgoing mail to be transferred via uucp) with carriage
return and line feeds at the end of the line.

Of course, this doesn't affect uucp at all, which will cheefully
transfer the file to the receiving system.  However, some versions of
rmail couldn't cope, and would just discard the incoming mail and
return an error code for the execution.

Next knows about the problem; I believe it was just a mailer flag in
the sendmail.cf.
