- I've performed a series of experiments and something is
- stripping blanks from mail messages:
-
- 1. Sent a message containing:
-
- aaaaaaaaaaa
-
- bbbbbbbbbbb
-
- to myself via UUCP%"munroe@dmc.com"
-
- The "blank" line had been filled with spaces.
-
- 2. Checked the spool file, it had spaces in it.
-
- 3. Checked the copy self copy delivered by mail. IT had spaces
- in it.
-
- 4. When UUCP/MX delivered the mail, the spaces were gone.
-
- So a few questions:
-
- (1) is my experiment bogus?
- (2) Does DECUS UUCP (or MX, since that's REALLY the entity that
- had the message last) strip blanks?
- (3) Is this behavior legal?
- (4) Should it be stopped?
-
- The following is the message I received. I don't know if it's MX
- or UUCP that's loosing the blanks.
