I am having problems with mailx as distributed with 386/ix when
responding to messages.
Check the rmail line in this out:
U larry nstar
# return status on failure
Z
# return address for status or input return
R larry
F D.nstar7606d84
I D.nstar7606d84
C rmail iuvax!ames!claris!apple!uuwest!vox.darkside.com!root iuvax!uiucuxc!egg-id!ucdavis!ucdavis!apple.com!nstar!larry
I replied to a message from vox!root - and check out the path to vox - which
is fine - followed by the secondary path back to nstar (my machine). This
only happens when using mailx - not mail.

Mailx is full of nifty little (and nasty big) bugs. Mush can be configured to look very much like mailx, and it's much more solid than mailx. -- Richard Foulk richard@pegasus.com

It leaves a .lock file in the mail directory which causes elm to fail and to take a bunch of time doing so. Of course elm could check to see if the process in the lock file is still alive but it is still a bug in mailx. BTW mailx and mail don't have any problem getting past the lock file. > >Email please. > Sorry - against my religion. -- D'Arcy J.M.
