- Subject: pc-elm and uuPC
- Summary: fix for rmail
- Keywords: elm pc-elm uupc
-
- If used with uuPC/extended one passes the message composed
- with pc-elm to RMAIL.EXE via the token uucpcall in the file
- PCELM.RC.
-
- There is a bug in pc-elm 3.01 and 3.1b which adds on a blank
- to the host name which messes up RMAIL's header. RMAIL will
- send properly and the message will arrive most likely but
- there are some sendmails that whine.
-
- Until they fix the source one can change in PCELM.RC the line
-
- uucpcall "rmail -f $ %"
-
- into
-
- uucpcall "rmail -f $ -t"
-
- This causes rmail to read the adressee (which was expanded
- from the % macro in the original line) from the headers of
- the actual message, like sendmail does.
-
- Works very well. (I found this while upgrading to uupc 1.11q but
- it does also work with 1.11k from which I upgraded)
