Yes, it sucks. It would suck less if someone with root privileges would comment out the line beginning "ignore" on /etc/mail.rc. Yes, this will affect anyone who uses /usr/bin/mail. Anyone who wants these lines ignored can always add this config line to his own .mailrc, but someone who doesn't want these lines ignored has no recourse. Solaris mailx supports "unignore", but FreeBSD mail does not. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Comment out the system-wide "ignore" config, or implement "unignore" which ought to be trivial, if anyone cared enough. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
