Hello - Since installing patch level 7 (2.3) on a Sun3 (SunOS4.1), I've been accumlating invalid 'Sender: username' messages after the address header in messages which are stored the /var/spool/mail/username mail boxes. See below. The number of lines has increased as I go in_&_out of elm, but not each time. Also the username displayed is not the username of the sender.
