I misunderstood and did what I did above, which resulted in wasting much
time yesterday. It's my fault for not knowing enought about mail, sendmail,
etc. to have realized that the full path to sendmail would require the
header information. It's also my fault for blindly setting a path to the
wrong program which compounded by problem.

However, not to look a gift horse in the mouth in that Mark certainly is an
extremely knowledgeable person, I'll bet that most everyone who is sending
mail from within a filePro processing table invokes it simply with 'mail'
and not the complete path. Now here comes the conroversial flame invoking
comment: Had you, Mark, just given some direction about the specific problem
I was having instead going into your "Charles Emerson Winchester III" mode
("us more highly evolved would never have invoked mail without the 'full
path'"), I wouldn't have been side tracked.

Thanks though, I know you did offer suggestions in an effort to help.
