It turns out that the points at which I am getting those strange squares is actually replacing "\\" and "\" in \\hostname\sharename. So I know where the problem is and what part needs fixing, but I have tried to recreate it on the command line but the message never comes through to me to fully diagnose. eg.. echo '\\hostname\sharename' | mail -s "test" [EMAIL PROTECTED] but I haven't gotten this. Strange, that now I'm not getting messages from /bin/mail. Will have to look into this and get back to you.
