=> As to your first report that mailmaint didn't know who you were: I
=> have no idea what the problem was, and I can't reproduce it. If you
=> ever have that happen again, *in the same xterm* try "whoami" and see
=> if that can find your username. I expect that your session was messed
=> up somehow and this wasn't really a mailmaint problem.
Ok, I figured out what this one is caused by. I set the following
resource for my xterms:
XTerm*utmpInhibit: true
If I start an xterm with the +ut option to override this resource,
mailmaint knows who I am.
