Hello David:
THanks for the reply. I removed the '-t' from sendmail's options,
but it doesn't make any difference --- the mail just disappears. I'm
afraid I'm enough of a newbie that I can't find a "sendmail log" file
anywhere on my system (SuSE 6.2). I wonder if anyone can help me find it??
Incidentally, Pine doesn't have this problem, nor does any other
MUA I've tried.
