I have a problem relating to mail mode in v18.55. Mail is arriving with the sender somehow changed into the first of the recipients; i.e. I (drl) send a message to root and it shows up in root's mailbox as coming FROM root. I suspect that this may be related to some strange interaction between emacs and sendmail. I changed the binding of sendmail-program to "/tmp/doit", which is simply a shell script that echoes its command line and standard input to a window. I then sent a message and watched the windoe to see what emacs was feeding sendmail. When I call sendmail by hand with the exact arguments and input that show up in the window, the message is delievered correctly. Then I mv'ed /tmp/doit away and made a softlink to /usr/lib/sendmail named /tmp/doit and gave exactly the same input. The message came to root's mailbox with the wrong sender. Any ideas?
