- I did a diff, when I got this message, on the spool file and the temp
- copy. Half way through, a one line message had its body duplicated.
- (ie: the one line was written twice). This is a problem that only
- begins with with Elm 2.4 PL7. And it only occurs when duplicating the
- spool file. Moving the spool file to be another folder and changing
- to it, Elm does not have this problem.
-
- This is on SCO Unix 3.2.2 using MMDF. I do not experience this
- problem on our AIX 3.1 system.
