Yes, I saw that in the code earlier. The sendmail model is to deliver all mail in sync with it's delivery on the mail server. That is the main reason I switched to a polling model with my scripts. I poll for mail every couple of minutes, and when I manually request it. I have some locking in my scripts, but with NFS that gets difficult. We should still attempt to address this in nmh since it is a real problem. A user could be running scripts that manipulate sequences as the same time as reading mail. Thanks. Jeff -- Jeffrey C.
