Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2000-08-16 00:05:44 UTC
Already fixed (with a couple of other problems) in mailx-8.1.1-17.

Comment 2 Michael McEniry 2000-08-17 19:29:44 UTC
I'm experiencing this same core-dump behavior.  When 
will mailx-8.1.1-17 be available?

Comment 3 Blomgren, Peter 2000-08-18 00:42:14 UTC
I'm not sure when the updated rpm will be on the ftp servers,
for now you can get the SRC.RPM at

http://stoker.stanford.edu/~blomgren/Linux/mailx-8.1.1-17.src.rpm

(If traffic gets out of control, I'll have to take it down...)


Comment 4 Marek Greško 2001-02-11 16:30:23 UTC
Well, the src.rpm above is not reachable. But the problem disappears after
setting hold flag in mail.rc.

Make your /etc/mail.rc looking like this:
set ask askcc append dot save crt hold
ignore Received Message-Id Resent-Message-Id Status Mail-From Return-Path Via
