mailx -s "subjet"
Why does mailx add ">" to the word From if it
starts in colume 1 of the messagefile being
redirecting to mailx? The output of the
message is received like below. It's like it
is being treated as a from: line for smtp.
I tried to escape the From word. \From in the
original file but no go.
.
.
>From
.
.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: mailx foo ">From"
Using elm solved the problem, as well as putting a blank line or a space before the "From" line.
So, either
elm -s "subjet"
or change the messagefile to
Line one of messagefile
(blank line here)
From whatever
Another line of messagefile
hth.

Re: mailx foo ">From"
a space before the From. Blank line before
does nothing.

Re: mailx foo ">From"
I believe that this is an hpux only issue, since the output from a linux server does not send the ">" character.
At least for me, it was not a big deal, since either using elm, inserting a space or changing to "FROM" worked fine.

Re: mailx foo ">From"
"From" is separator of massage in mbox.
so, mail command changes "From" to ">From".
