Why can't I e-mail from out of NN 6.4?

Hello All,

I am running NN 6.4 on serveral machines.  The news portion is working
quite well, but e-mailing from inside of news is not.  What I mean by
this is, that if you are viewing an article  and you hit "m" to mail
it, everything looks fine, but submit chokes on the file.  It seems
that there is not enought of a mail header for submit to process.

In fact, only the "To:" and "Subject:" mail headers are being set by
nn 6.4.  

I am using "MMDF" under SCO, and I'm not sure the submit is the right
program to be calling.  Either that or I need to figure out how to
generate a better mail header in order to fix the problem.

So which is it?  Do I need to run some other program and not submit
(Don't say sendmail), or is there a place I can define outbound e-mail
headers so that submit will work?
