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.
