o sendmail is a Mail Transport Agent (MTA), and does the job
of delivering mail to local network or the internet. It is
nut a mail user agent (MUA).
o mail is usually a symlink to /usr/bin/Mail which is from
the mailx package. It is a mail processing program (MUA)
carried over from the original BSD-mailx. It can read mail
which has come to your mail spool and push things out to
the MTA for delivery. This cannot do the job of an MTA.

Sub : Line numbering your programs (#5) LOST #155
Want a listing of your program with line numbers ? vi clones
on Linux can do it directly !!! In command mode of vim/ elvis
or nvi, type: ':set number' (or, ':se nu')... and to turn off
numbering during edit ':set nonumber' (or, ':se nonu').
