- That's strange! Running rmail from the command line hasn't caused a
- problem here. The problem was with PC-Elm. Although I checked the
- pcelm.rc file until I was seeing crosseyed, I couldn't figure out why
- it was inserting a space in the "From " line just before the "!coneill"
- so I eventually gave up.

- Oh, well!
