[gnu.emacs.bug] HP problems with rmail

fennell@AI.MIT.EDU (Curtis Fennell) (09/18/89)

I've been having some trouble with the RMAIL facility in emacs. When using 
emacs on the HP 300's in the office, we can use emacs to send mail for a while,
but after it's been running several days, the mailer will stop sending.

It will allow you to compose a message, and even use C-c C-c to send it - 
it then says it's sending the mail, and indicates that it sent it successfully,
but the mail never goes anywhere. It doesn't even get to the mail queue. 

Is there anything that can be done about this?

Yes, we've been noticing a variant of this on HP 300/9000 running
HP-UX 6.5: the message does get sent but the text of the message is
missing: only the From and Subject lines arrive on the other node
(we've been testing against ULTRIX).
