Losing RMAIL headers

Greetings,

I am using RMAIL (emacs 18.57.1) with SCO Unix (3.2 v.2) and am finding
that I lose the subject lines when I send mail.  From within RMAIL
everything appears fine.  I see the following:

To:
Subject:
Reply-to:
--text follows this line--

When I compose and send the mail it looks like this upon receipt.

It looks like what I consider to be the RMAIL header gets wrapped by
SCO and the subject doesn't make it into the new header.  We don't
have sendmail, so we are using fakemail to /bin/mail.

My guess is that this should be common on SCO systems.  Has anyone else
seen this?

Thanks.
