I had the same problem with 10.3 xmh ... the scan and the pack commands are flaky (actually the mh commands). I called the Apollo Response Center and got "We don't support it" .... [the typical Apollo answer] I'm keeping a 10.2 copy around and see what happens...Also...we are going to try to get the latest copy of mh and build it ourselves. Doug Acker ChemShare Corporation dla@chemsh.UUCP Ever wonder why SUN Response Center is much more helpful?

It doesn't bother me that HP/Apollo doesn't support the MH stuff. They say they don't. Thats fine and dandy. Subscribe to the MH news group (comp.mail.mh) or join the mailing list. You will get lots of support. (Perhaps too much even.) If HP/Apollo's version don't work, get the source and compile it. (I did the same for the brain dead version of sendmail they distribute.) ***** FLAME ON ***** If HP/Apollo will distribute all the stuff they do in /usr/new, and say it is unsupported, why won't they distribute other freeware stuff? Like extra X clients, some of the GNU stuff (the legal wenies not withstanding), and the such. AND INCLUDES THE SOURCE TOO!!!!! ***** FLAME OFF ***** I don't mind unsupported software. I often get better 'support' for unsupported software than I do for supported software. But don't tie our hands by with holding the source. If we call and say that the scan command of MH is broken, and you say tough, it is unsupported, give us the capability to repair it ourselves. Sorry, I'll step down from the pulpit now. -- Douglas Keenan Rand Honeywell -- Air Transport Systems Division Phone: +1 602 436 2814 US Snail: P.O.
