The only real problem is that the mail will actually be stored *first* in a
V7 mailbox by procmail or sendmail or exim or whatever, when the damage is
done. Later when you try to split it into many files, you can't undo the
damage.
Anyway, thanks very much for your response.

There is an exception. Until recently, the gnome-terminal incorrectly sends
^H rather than DEL on receiving BackSpace. If you want to get back the

Look for the /etc/X11/Xmodmap files if you REALLY want BackSpace to give you
