Michael Nolan@helios.unl (283) asks:
| On my NCR Tower/450 (not this sytem) running V.2, I don't get From: headers 
| when I send e-mail.  I'm using mailx (mostly because I'm too lazy to find/
| figure out anything better.)  What program is supposed to place the From: line 
| in the header?

  Sendmail thinks that the user agent should have the first say, but will
generate one (via the sendmail.cf incantation ``H?F?From: $q'') if and
only if no From: line already exists.
