As we have several machines here using the same NFS-mounted disks, I
devised a hack that forwards mail to all these machines so that it
gets to my home directory instead of the spool. This worked fine until
I stumbled to the same missing-\n -difficulty. So now my .forward
looks like

"| /home7/okiin/shem/bin/putkiposti"

and putkiposti is a perl script:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

$NL  = "\n";
open(MAILBOX,">>/home7/okiin/shem/Mail/MAILBOX");

print MAILBOX $NL;
while (<>) {
    print MAILBOX $_;
}
print MAILBOX $NL;
close(MAILBOX);

This works well, but I wouldn't object to a cleaner solution. And
having observed Dan Jacobson's postings, I suspect he won't be very
happy with this kind of kluge.
