If I send mail using the mail command I get the following error:
quote:
"header": undefined variable
$ mail -s test myusername </dev/null
"header": undefined variable
Has anyone else noticed this is SFU 3.5 or SUA (R2)? So far it looks ok to ignore it.

I've not noticed it before.
I would tend to take a look at ~/.mailrc or /etc/mail.rc to see if something is in there.
Perhaps someone fiddled with one or the other resource file.

I though that too, but in both cases (SFU 3.5 and SUA) I'm dealing with a 'fresh' install.

Sorry, I spoke too soon. Mail is fine in Interix 3.0 (which is the last
time I touched it). I'm getting it now on 3.5 & SUA.
Your timing is good because I'm scheduled to update mail in the next short while
for 6.0 anyway. I have a couple of things to clear up before I can take a look at it.

The problem is fixed for 6.0 now. This might echo back into 5.2, I'm not positive right now.
The message will only appear when stdin is not a tty. This is for the utility mail, not mailx.
There is no error happening per se (the variable "header" just wasn't set before in this scenario).

That's great. As a workaround in the mean time what I've done is replace the /usr/bin/mail symlink with the following script:
#!/bin/ksh
mailx "$@"

Ron
