Well... some mailers (MUAs) create headers (such as the "X-Mailer: mutt") in their messages. Others (such as /usr/bin/mail, which I use) don't. Then again, trusting any such headers to match anyone's perception of reality can be an interesting exercise.... (The Solaris 2 version of /usr/bin/Mail allows one to edit the headers; results of such an exercise are left to readers' imaginations.) And, of course, it's possible to feed (fairly arbitrary) text to sendmail for delivery; for an example, take a look at Larry Wall's "Rnmail" script.... (part of the "trn" package) :-) david -- David Wolfskill dhw@whistle.com (650) 577-7158 pager: (650) 401-0168 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
