Hi, I'm setting up a sco unix 386 box for the first time.  I've been
using unix for years now, but I've never set one up my self.  We just
finished installing TCP/IP for unix, and then Configured, and Compiled
elm.  There seemed to be no problem in either process, but when you try
to send mail to anyone, elm won't read the incoming mail.  It says that
the mail file is corrupted, and it can't read it.  I took a look at the
file, and found that the delemiter between messages was four 0x01 characters
in a line.  If I removed them (vi), elm worked fine.  Is there any way
to tell sendmail NOT to include these characters? Or am I not telling
elm's Configure script something?  By the way, it's elm version 2.3.11
If anyone has any idea's, I would greatly appreciate you e-mailing them
to me.  Thanks in advance.
