I noticed that some of the lines in my mbox file, saved by the "s file" cmd of the S5 /bin/mail program puts binary zeros in the text file, nearby the time field, as follows (only the zero's changed to \000 for clarity): Received: by teddy.LOCAL on Thu, 9 Jan 86 17:08:48 \000\000\000est id AA28338; Thu\000\000\000, 9 Jan 86 19:08:02 pst In-Reply-To: <894@rlgvax.UU\000\000\000CP> id AA16280; Wed, 8 \000\000\000Jan 86 08:33:18 pst Comments why? -- Dennis Bednar Computer Consoles Inc.

How do you know that it's /bin/mail that did it? Do you know that it didn't come in that way? (Besides, it's not the S5 /bin/mail, it's the result of adding some S5 stuff to the 4.2BSD /bin/mail; why not use the 4.2BSD "mail" command instead?) Guy Harris
