Sorry, my inews won't let me post to alt.*. In article <12057@s.ms.uky.edu> david@ms.uky.edu (David Herron -- One of the vertebrae) writes: } A problem with both the ucbmail and mush ports into the MMDF } environment is that neither makes a distinction between saving } a message to a mailbox and sending it out a pipe. In both cases } the ^A's are sent out... It's on my list of things to do ;-) Mush 6.5.6 *does* remove the ^A separators when piping, *except* when you specify a pipe as one of the addresses when sending mail (e.g. if $record is a pipe). But that is an incredibly trivial thing to fix. (Why don't poeple *tell* me about these problems?!?!) [ This is NOT an Official Patch.
