What is the latest version os smail and where can I ftp it from ? 

I have 3.1.28.1 #5, Nov 93 and it is broken. It inserts extraneous 
linefeeds and tabs making the spool file looking like follows:

While Linux's pine (3.89) can read it just fine, other email readers are 
confused like hell.

Thanks, Caesar.
