Hello netlanders,

My HP9000/832 running HP-UX fails to compile Elm 2.4PL17, below is the last

Strangely enough the same make works fine on my HP9000/360 also running

Does anyone have a clue to what I am doing wrong?

It' obviosly a lockd related problem. I pop open my Console window, and
for every attempt to lock the mailbox I get:
lock-manager: RPC error: (9) RPC: Program/version mismatch

Which is pretty strange, since the /etc/rpc and it's yellow page twin
all show the same numbers. And the Sparc I's run dataless, so they are
using the exact same copy of rpc.lockd as the server. weird.

Hmmmm. I did apply a pile of patches to my 4.1.2, one of which was 100075-08,
which claims to fix all the evils of rpc.lockd. Perhaps it is actually
causing the problem in this case. I will revert to the old copy and see
what that does.

I think your confusion is due to the fact that LISTSERV, the software that
runs most BITnet discussion lists allows for various options when it generates
a Reply-To: header.  As I recall the options for each list are to point to the
list, point to the submitter or to respect any Reply-to: header in the
submitter's mail.

I agree it would be useful for elm to allow you to override the Reply-to:
header without retyping the address, but..........

Setlocale is for the NLS stuff.  If you don't need the 'locale' stuff, and
your vendor has merged setlocale in with a bunch of stuff that is not compatible
together, then just change the configure output to set d_locale to undef.

Another alternative is to force the system to search the -lc library before the
-lposix library, so the normal stuff comes out of -lc.

This sounds like you don't have Elm and your MTA set to use the same locking
protocol.  This can cause this to happen.  In 2.3 the only locking protocols
Elm uses are .lock and flock.  In 2.4 we support fcntl (lockf) as well as
flock.

Here's a problem that cropped up with the latest patch (17) for Elm 2.4:

When forewarding a message and selecting "n" when asked if you want to
edit the outgoing message, ELM insists on prepending the 'greater than'
sign (>) to each line. This is very undesirable and greping through the
docs has not revealed any voodoo that has changed that is making this
happen.

I have set up to use all 3 forms of locking on my SunOS 4.1.2 Suns

Yep, I reverted to rpc.lockd.FCS on the clients and no problems. I'm not
sure this is such a great idea though since there were so many things
wrong with the original lockd. Oh well, maybe Sun actually has *another*
fix by now. I'm still running the revised rpc.lockd on the server and
it all seems to work okay. Strange......

I always thought it was a feature.  :)  I like i because I can pass
stuff on, and its clear who wrote what.  Have you tried using bounce
to resend source?  Bounce makes it appear the message is from the
person who mailed it to you, and I don't think it adds >_.

However, use of the >_ is configurable, in the .elm/elmrc. I think its
called prefix or something, and a >_ gets translated into a >(space).

Hi, I use LESS to display mail in elm and have a very inconsistent display

window can display, I get the prompt

Command ('i' to return to index):

But if the message is longer than the number of lines that the window can
display, then I get the less prompt, which is the behavior I observed
before moving to elm 2.4. Currently I am running elm 2.4.17 and X11 Rel 5.

Is this a bug in elm or is it wrongly configured in my elmrc?

Hello

I am having a problem with elm since my sysadmin (who does not support elm)
made some unspecified changes in our system. Every time I try to
"resynchronize" a folder, elm dies out and the /usr/spool/mail/pullin file
gets its owner changed. Instead of looking like this,

% ls -l /usr/spool/mail/pullin
-rw-rw----   1 pullin   system     43987 Dec 22 09:44 /usr/spool/mail/pullin

it looks like

% ls -l /usr/spool/mail/pullin
-rw-rw----   1 nobody   nobody     43987 Dec 22 09:44 /usr/spool/mail/pullin

I guess it must be some conflict of read/write protection, but I cannot 
figure out exactly what. Has anyone experienced such a problem?

Please reply bye email, I can summarize if there is interest.

Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Jorge
