Hm.  I've seen problems like this before, with outside software
assuming that we have a mail command that works.  (Or that
our mail command accepts the '-s' flag.)

I've changed the line to read
XMcd*cddbMailCmd:		mhmail -s '%S' %A <%F >/dev/null 2>&1

I haven't tried to submit any cd's, but tests of sending email
to myself indicates that this works on our four main platforms.
