Ok. I think I'm really close now. After so long, I've got a configuration of MH on my 3b2 running System V release 3.2, and it works almost right. If anyone wants help with putting MH on System V, send me email. My system has sendmail, and if yours doesn't, I may not be able to help you. My problem is in the way inc parses mail headers. It probably has a sensible algorithm, but the mailers where I work don't use sensible mailers. For example, mail I get looks like: From uucp Thu Nov 15 18:17:05 EST 1990 >From uucp Thu Nov 15 18:16:05 EST 1990 remote from sitea >From joe Thu Nov 15 18:15:05 EST 1990 remote from siteb This is when I am getting mail from sitea!siteb!joe. But inc thinks it's merely from joe. Is there a fix for this, such as a configuration option? You may be tempted to tell me to fix /bin/mail on my site. I would be willing to do that if it will help, but since I can't change /bin/mail on the intermediate sites, I don't see how it will help to change my own /bin/mail. Also, sometimes System V does not put a blank line between the header and the body of a message. It would be nice if inc recognized that the body was beginning because the first word of the line does not end in a ':'. Is this fixable?
