It's unfortunate that mail exits with 0, however. I was burned by this not very long ago (ran M-x mail in emacs for a quick mail, no error, never got there. Eventually I ran mailq and realized sendmail wasn't setup properly). It isn't mail's fault, though. sendmail returns with 0 as well. -Dan -- Dan Mills <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> All Minds!
