You'd have to forget for more than one line.. I'm not sure
which "mail" program you're talking about (there can be several
similarly-named and similar-appearing "mail" commands on a Unix
system ["mail", "Mail", "mailx", etc..]) but I doubt any of them
has a hardcoded line length less than 250 characters..

plain 'mail', had not heard of the others and I barely know how to use
mail, just to read and reply and delete. I doubt that I forgot for
three lines. This has happened before, on the third or fourth lines.
Not important, just curious. Not like when it was freezing up before,
I can delete a letter, just not type forwards. I got into the habit of
using mail when pine took 5 minutes to open the inbox.

Yep, the files were here. Don't know what made them appear, but almost all
of them had a date of 04/11/98. Can't remember what I was doing then, I don't
think I was transferring any files. I tried to use the "rm -i *" command, but
it choked on the first file that it encountered that was named "-B". Oh well
they're gone now, I was curious if anyone else had a similar problem.

Re #292ff: 3*80 + 15 = 255. I suspect mail has a 255 character max line
length.
Can anyone say why Grex was down today?

Most Unix programs have a 255 character line length.

I'm sure Valerie meant to say the tty driver.

It did not beep, but backspacing did cure the problem. I will make extra sure
to press enter at all line ends in mail, or just use pine.

elm is a lot less of a system hog than pine, I'm told.
