  yes, this bug has existed (and only on suns) since at least '86 or
  so.  if anyone had any idea what was happening, it would be fixed by
  now (i have not observed the behavior on hps, decs or ibms).

  you found the correct solution by not using the -daemon variant--the
  send -push was failing on the sun for some reason.  you can achieve
  the same behavior without modifying the sources by sending with "C-u
  C-c C-c".

  heres an alias that i used to use to send the unsent drafts:

	alias senddead	'send -draftf drafts'
