I'm not positive that this is a bug in Elm but... I'm using Elm 2.1 PL1 on a Sun-2/170, SunOS3.4. My pager is "less." Once in a while, Elm appears to get confused about where a message begins and ends, and passes random chunks of text from the mailbox to the pager. This happens maybe one percent of the time. After the pointers get screwed up, it remains consistent as far as I can tell. It always gives you the same (wrong) block of text for a specific message. Bailing out with either 'x' or 'q', then restarting usually cures the problem; nothing else seems to help. Fixed in 2.2? -- Dave Mack
