Yeah, but I have Elm using execmail and would like to have both of the mailer plugged in at the same spot. Execmail seems to add come headers that submit doesn't. And furthermore, submit was giving me some permissions problems. I have read (right here in this group) that the problem with permissions is a SCO installation bug and that it can be cleared up by correcting permissions according to the report produced by checkup. Still, the execmail program is also in the Xenix mail system on many other computers we have here and I would like to know exactly how to use it. -- -- Charles "Chip" Yamasaki chip@oshcomm.osha.gov
