I also sent him a copy of the recently posted feedmail.el by
William_J_Carpenter@ATT.COM which sends stuff to /bin/mail or
/bin/rmail for maximal worry free mailing, no matter what wacky mail
system lies behind /bin/mail.  We're making it the default here,
instead of using fakemail.c [doesn't strip comments out of address
lists be fore passing list to /bin/sh, etc. code ought to be done in
easy-reconfigurable lisp, etc.]  It would be neat if it got included
in the official emacs.
