I'm still exploring things with my upgrade from Slackware 14.2 to 15.0. This is minor, but annoying. Slackware 14.2 had mailx version 12.5. Slackware 15.0 has mailx version 14.9.23. Here's my issues:
Code:
1 00:26:06 mfoley@mtech:~
$ mail mfoley@novatec-inc.com
Subject: testing
To: mfoley@novatec-inc.com (<- this never showed before)
The rain in Spain.
.
1 00:27:14 mfoley@mtech:~
After entering the subject, the "To:
mfoley@novatec-inc.com" line pops up. I didn't have that with 12.5 and I'd like to get rid of it. I just entered the recipient on the command line and don't see any reason to see it again right after entering the subject.
Secondly, and more importantly, you can see that I started the mail command at 00:26:06. After hitting the 'dot' to terminate my message, it took over a minutes for the mailer to do something and return to the command line. Why?
I've compared the /etc/nail.rc files on both the 14.2 and 15.0 Slackware systems and they are identical. Likewise, my $HOME/.mailrc file is pretty bare-bones:
Code:
set from=mfoley@mercureytech.com
set ttycharset=utf-8
set print-all-chars
What can I do to especially get rid of the 1-minute+ delay in sending messages from the command line?
