Hmmm.  The title of the window is "Sending Internet Mail".  The pull-down
is named "Internet Mail Format".  And I chose "Plain Text Only".  Can't
get much simpler than that.  The only thing I did different here is to
Forward instead of Reply.  If that doesn't work I could try doing New
Memo, but that would mean copying and pasting from the original response
to the new reply. :-(

The working and failing machines do have this file.  It seems to be a
zero-length file with permissions srwxr-wr-w owned by root.  Does this
mean that both machines are trying to do the right thing.  That is,
open a connection to the netsnmp master agent.  But the failing machine
never has succeeded.  Is that file created before the connection is
made?  Why is even the working machine's file zero-length?

Here's a long-shot, but this machine is the only non-Intel box we're
running on. We're all running SuSE 8.2, but this box is an IBM 44P RISC.
Probably a non-issue but I just thought I'd throw that out there since
we may be exhausting our things-to-try.

Thanks,

Carlos
