We've just installed MH 6.6 on our Gould NP1 running UTX/32 (4.3BSD-type).
I've noticed that the Fcc: handling has changed, and I'm trying to figure out
if it's a bug/feature or if we configured something wrong. "post -help" says:
version: MH 6.6 #1[UCI] (ics) of Tue May 24 15:51:53 PDT 1988
options: [BSD42] [BSD43] [BERK] [MHRC] [DUMB] [RPOP] [NETWORK] [BIND]
[RPATHS] [UCI] [MHE] [SENDMTS] [POP]
UNDER MH 6.5: When I would send a message with this line in the header:
Fcc: folder1,folder2
*one* copy of the draft would be *linked* into *both* folders "folder1" and
"folder2". I could give three, four, etc. folder names and it would link into
all of them.
UNDER MH 6.6: Now, the same line puts *individual copies* in each folder.
I always put mail messages into at least two folders. Because there's no link
made, it means messages eat at least twice as much disk space. It's also
almost impossible to find all copies of the original message (if the messages
were linked, I could just use "find -inum ###").
I'm sending a short script below that shows a message with "Fcc:" to two
folders being sent, and the separate copies stored in the two folders.
Is this a bug or a feature? Is there any way to change the configuration to
make 6.6 work like 6.5 did? Thanks...
