Is there some way that mush can be used to view mail that is in a read-only folder. With my current setup mush gets very unhappy that it cannot update the folder. I am using mush 7.0.1 under SunOS 4.0.3 on SPARCs and Sun3. -- Kerien Fitzpatrick Field Robotics Center The Robotics Institute Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 (412)268-6564 Arpanet: fitz@rodan.frc.ri.cmu.edu

Mush 7.0 and earlier took the view that the user should be responsible for exiting with "exit" (as opposed to "quit") in *any* situation where the folder should not be updated. This is somewhat silly in the case of a read-only folder, and furthermore was partially broken in tool mode. Version 7.1 has changed this to the more obvious behavior. You can pick up 7.1 by anonymous ftp from: cse.ogi.edu: pub/mush/mush-7.1.tar.Z or ucbvax.berkeley.edu: pub/mailers/mush-7.1.tar.Z I haven't looked lately to see if ucbvax still has a copy, but cse.ogi definitely does. -- Bart Schaefer schaefer@cse.ogi.edu
