Sorry to drag out this off-topic subject, but the above remark made me
wonder if anyone else has the problem with Netscape Mail that I do.
I'm using Netscape 4.05 on a Sun running Solaris 2, and I find that
whenever it encounters a blank line followed by a line beginning "From"
(with a capital F) it thinks it is a start of a new message. What
puzzles me is that looking into my incoming mail file with a text editor
there doesn't seem to be any kind of message delimiter, so that must be
the only way to identify the start of a message. Why don't other mail
programs have problems? I've looked at Netscape's web page without any
luck, maybe it only affects Unix systems?
Luckily most of my other mail goes through Lotus Notes, so to fix the
problem I edit my mail file with a text editor and substitute a
lower-case 'f' in any such lines before picking up the mail with
Netscape. Has anybody else ever had this sort of problem, and is there
a more elegant solution?
