- Yes, this will work.
-
- On re-reading my posting I see that I inadvertently left the whole paragraph in
- there on the /PERM/APPLICATION workaround. (A half finished paragraph with
- that dangerous phrase "the only work around".) I meant to leave that whole
- paragraph out since the diagnosis of the problem, in the following paragraph,
- brings to light the key issue (be in application mode before running VMS MAIL).
- Sites troubled with this problem can then do as they see fit prior to the
- release of 4.2.
-
- Since others may be interested in your suggestion, I'm posting this back to
- info-pmdf.

- Thanks,
- Dan
