No, but *I'll* pound you for jumping on Mark's shit without cause.  :-)

And then I'll try to answer your question.

It's not stupid.  It's merely unknowledgeable.  And we're all that,
sometimes.

Do you get that in a filePro error presentation?  Or where does it come
out, and how?  It doesn't sound like it's coming from /bin/mail.  Check
to see what mail you're running (do 'system "type mail >/tmp/junk"' from
inside processing, and look at the file.  And check your groups file
for groups 51 and 524, and the ls -l of the binary it tells you it's
running, and report back.

Oh, and FTP me some lunch.
