Greetings,

My users have a script like so (sanitized for everyone's sake):
/usr/ucb/mail -s "a subject" \
-r contracts \
-c "list o folks"\
-b "diff list o folks"  \
"real recip list" \
<  some_file

I just switched the machine from sendmail to postfix.
the "-r contracts" "doesn't work".  that is, the "from" says
contra...@arlut... but the (name) shows the person's name
(the person running the script).

i don't know what it said for the person's name before, but
i guess they don't like it.  so i gotta.

postfix's sendmail doesn't have a -c (carbon copy) or
-b (blind carbon copy) equivalent.  -f and -F will fix
the "from" fakery, but the carbon copies are a problem.

mutt will handle ONE carbon and ONE blind carbon, unless
i'm doing it wrong.  i can fake the "from" stuff.

mutt -F honk -s "t11" -c root,r...@inm,gl r...@harvey<  /etc/motd
#       nope.
mutt -F honk -s "t12" -c "root r...@inm gl" r...@harvey<  /etc/motd
#       this one tries to send to rootr...@inmgl
#       nope.




mutt ... -c user1 -c user2 -c user3 ...
