Sorry for the quoting problems, but something about your mailer's output
is confusing Pine.

Is it a problem with the mode being used, or the mode being requested?
I.e. can it be promoted?

Does this mean *without* redirecting it, i.e. using the real internal
serial? If not, what was different between the two attempts?

I'm not sure that's what he meant. I doubt that the redirection approach
would work better, since the problems depend on which driver is being
*used*, not which one is being *requested*. I could imagine it working
*worse* in the redirected case, though, if the GVP driver doesn't handle
EOFMODE correctly, since serial.device *does* handle it correctly and the
"auto" setting would assume that.
