I have another dumb problem with Unix mail. The escape character
for mail is ~. The escape character for the editor is :. I want
to set the escape character for mail to be : also.
I inserted "set ESCAPE=: in my .mailrc, but it didn't work.
What's the right command for this?

I see someone fixed the faq script, now uses lynx. Nice!

I don't know who commented out the menumore line. It was working for me
when I converted the Grex faq to text form and put it in
/usr/local/grexdoc/grex-faq (that was on July 12)
The lynx version of the script is better if it works for you. Users with
dumb terminals will not be able to run that script, though. I guess they
can always do a finger faq, if they know to do so.

Nethack gave me a "Waiting for access to record." error 60 times
before failing. I assume 60 retries is the default, so that's not
a problem, but is there a problem with a nethack record?

.... on a buncha items today, i have seen the item header, then
a second line of <item is forgotten>
.... and then a screen full of responses headed by 98 new of 102 resp.
this seems to be a problem. they were not <linked item> items either.
well, two were, but he other 5/6 were not. i recognized the linked
items items.

Try "set forget".

A couple of bugs that should be addressed:
* The mail length limiter, while it displays the message when a mail file
being sent exceeds the 100K limit, sends the mail anyway.
* When an item in BBS is responded to for the first time in several months
or years (I believe the limit would be a year, based on how dates show up in
an 'ls'), the entire item is displayed on a 'read new'. (Partially responsible
for some of the huge newresponse files.)

Additional: The mail software, upon getting a large file, *both* sends the
mail *and* bounces a copy - in its entirety. (I would that, if it coundn't
send, that it does neither - or else truncate most of the bounce.)

....set forget has been my default for eons ... and i didn't do
any of the setting of forget/noforget ....however, issuing the
commands seems to have cleared the problem. oh,well.

Re 108 second complaint: Drew, that's what happens if you've used
"fixseen" to make items look as though you've read them. That's not
the way I would have designed it myself, but knowing Marcus I'd guess
it's not a bug but a feature I don't happen to like. (Instead of using
fixseen I always do "read all pass >/dev/null".)

(Er, it also results when you join a new conference, which appears to
functionally set things the way fixseen does, I think. The items get marked
as having nothing new, but no responses are marked as read, however that's
stored internally.)

"mailx" is also the name of the ucb mail program, in older system V releases.

Jim is trying to figure out why the neighbor, who we are trying to get to join
grex, does not get anything but a 'screen that freezes up'. He programmed
it to wait only sixty seconds. Does the internet connection not working have
something to do with it taking a few minutes to connect to grex?

There are a total of three of us on grex at the moment, the other two are not
accepting messages. I thought they might like to know the number.
Do we really need 14 phone lines? My neighbor may soon be the fourth.
Best of luck to staff in figuring out the problem, and thanks.

Grex is, indeed, off the net.

When I tried to send e-mail, it refused (to some place out of state?).
When my neighbor finally got on grex and sent mail to EMU, it said
it was sent. Where did it go? Why did mine not go?
