[comp.os.msdos.misc] Mailers

derek@sun4dts.dts.ine.philips.nl (derek) (05/02/91)

I'm not sure that this is exactly the correct group to mail to, but it is
related to downloading files via mailers for msdos, and I don't read any
of the sys admin type groups.

I have two problems:
1. With garbo.uwasa.fi
I'm using the script (UNIX):

mail -s "garbo-request" mailserv@garbo.uwasa.fi << $1

and including the send pc/... messages in the $1 script.
However,the mailer  is not seeing the subject line. Can anyone tell me 
what is perhaps wrong?

2. With the Trickle server.
When receiving large files they are often corrupted by the splitting
mechanism, a spurious header appearing in the middle of the uuencoded
text. After trying all kinds of deletions I still couldn't get the 
files to decode properly. I should report this directly to the server
people, but I have no address for problems, so I'm hoping that they will
pick this up, or someone will give me the address to forward this.
