I have a problem with /usr/ucb/mail. When I save a message in a folder, it never gets deleted from the original folder. I guess there is a flag that can be set to avoid this problem, but it is not documented in the man pages. Another problem is that when I delete a message, the next return skips a message. I am wondering where I can get an on-line documentation for /usr/ucb/mail. Thanks. -- sudhakar (sudha@kbesrl.me.uiuc.edu)

Check your /usr/lib/Mail.rc (system wide) and .mailrc (for each user) files for this flag. It *should* be documented in the man pages (it is on our system uws3.1)! If you are working with a DEC-VAX you should have the entire manual pages on the distribution tape. Robert (Frank@urz.unibas.ch)
