What were you trying to do?
Send mail using MH
What's wrong:
For the 'From:' line, MH reads your ~/.signature file and inserts
the contents to the front of the line,
other normal mailers use this file as the end of message
signature, which is typically many lines, and not what you want.
What should have happened:
It should try and be compatible with other mailers (e.g. RMAIL and
messages and ucb Mail). '.signature' is typically appended to
the end of the message. '.name' (I think) is the file used for the
from line.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
messages, send, rmail
