- Hi Everyone,
-
- I've this problem here which I don't know whether I've configured elm
- wrong or elm has a problem with this. I've installed elm 2.3 patch level
- 11 on our system, with mailer set to /usr/lib/sendmail. With this
- configuration, elm will not take a file as an address (e.g. elm ~/file).
- It will return with user unknown. The same thing happens when /bin/mail
- is used.
-
- I changed the mailer to /usr/ucb/mail and now it will accept files
- as address. But then the header got screw up like this:

- It seems nothing wrong with the header because it has all the information
- in it. But the blank line between Status and Subject kills the header as
- a blank line is what distinguishes the header from the body. Did I do
- anything wrong? If yes, what's it and if not, is there a simple way to
- fix this (other than modifying the code itself)? The system is a DEC5000/200
- runnng Ultrix 4.2A. Thanks in advance.
