As quoted from <451@penguin.UUCP> by jac@penguin.UUCP (James Carter):
+---------------
| I am running a 3B1 and SVR3 and have been having trouble with Mailx. It
| also occurs on two other 3B1's and an Altos 3068 here in Tulsa.
|
| When responding the the "?" prompt with a carriage return, mailx will skip
| the next sequential message and then print the one following, ie. 1 - 3 -
| 5 - etc. If the message numbers are used however, it works fine. What do
| we have set wrong?
+---------------
I'm posting because it's of general interest. It also occurs in at least one
version of Ultrix, so it's not the System V port.
The problem is that CR is mapped to "next"; with autoprint on, this works
because delete displays the next message automatically, but if autoprint is
off you skip messages after a delete or save. No real fix is possible; you
just have to use CR only if autoprint is set.
