But, there are a large number of existing scripts and programs that rely on /bin/mail (and a good number of those rely on /bin/mail acting like mailx). We need to accomodate those. Also, UNIX98 mandates mailx and their is no real compelling reason not to. -- Jakob 'sparky' Kaivo - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://jakob.kaivo.net/
