Sendbug on the O2s generates the headings that look like
Subject: sgi 8.1.15: program
-------
System name: system
Type and version: IP32 8.1.15 (with mkserv)
Display type: CRM
This has the unfortunate drawback of not pointing out the version of
the OS. While it's possible to tell this apart from the Indy output:
Subject: sgi 8.1.11: program
-------
System name: system
Type and version: IP22 8.1.11 (with mkserv)
Display type: GR3-XZ
by looking at things like the CPU type, this is ugly and obfuscated.
If we're considering running with two IRIX versions in parallel, we
should consider adding the OS version to the above info. (I'd suggest
a particular way to do so, but I can't think of a non-ugly one...)
