I/we have an unusual problem here. The person who manages our system is
busy and I am really the only user who is affected. Please e-mail
responses so that I can provide some helpful hints/suggestions to him.  I
will post a summary if the problem solution appears applicable to others. 

System Specifics:
	Xterminal
	'diskless' Sun 3 or 4
	SUNOS 4.?
	Disk Server machine
	xmh or rn

When I use my Xterminal and log into a SUN (either 3 or 4) and send mail
there is a problem. I send mail either via 'r' from rn or 'send' / 'reply'
buttons from xmh. The local sun then 'mails' to the server which actually
mails my message. However, on the local sun copies of the body and headers
(df and qf) still remain, with the header file truncated to 0 length. The
mail deamon then runs again (15 minutes or so later) and attempts to send
the files again. However, since the header file is empty, it fails. It
continues to attempt to mail the files forever. If I actually log on the
the SUN (ie, I am actually sitting right in front of the box) and I then
send mail. All is well.
