Problem: the -s flag causes problems instead of inserting a subject
example:
(~) Meow? mail kevles -s "foo"
Subject: asd
adf
Cc:
(~) Meow? (Resetting uid)
queuename: Cannot create "qf~Z05850" in "/usr/spool/mqueue": No such file or dir
ectory
What should have happened:
MAIL(1) UNIX Programmer's Manual MAIL(1)
NAME
mail - send and receive mail
SYNOPSIS
mail [ -v ] [ -i ] [ -n ] [ -s subject ] [ user ... ]
mail [ -v ] [ -i ] [ -n ] -f [ name ]
mail [ -v ] [ -i ] [ -n ] -u user
According to the man page, -s should let you give a subject line. Also,
since we have bin/mail and ucb/mail, the man page should say which one
it refers to.
