If so, does it look ok? Is sendmail your MTA? If so, check the sendmail log files for the size of the message that it thinks that it's sending. I've seen sendmail truncate many a message. Does this happen to every host that you send mail to, or just a select few? If so, can you narrow it down to a host between here and there that's causing the problem? Do you have plenty of free disk space on your system? Did you change anything just before this happened? Maybe installed a new patch into elm? Reconfigured your sendmail.cf/mailxrc/etc... file? Does this with any MUA on your system? Does this just happen with Elm? These are just a few things that you can try. If you don't have any success, try to send me email and I'll help if I can. -Jeff -- Jeff Beadles Utek Sustaining Engineering, Tektronix Inc. jeff@quark.WV.TEK.COM Member of the Elm development group
