Subject: sendmail -bs vs sendail -t?

Why does pine do the first by default whereas the comments in the .pinerc
file say the latter is way things must behave?

Thanks

All my .pinerc file says is:

# This names the path to an alternative sendmail program which is 
# usually "/usr/lib/sendmail".  It must support sendmail's "-bs" option. 

Maybe someone make "local" changes to your .pinerc???

hmmmm.... my .pinerc contains the words

# NOTE: The program MUST read the message to be posted on standard input,
#       AND operate in the style of sendmail's "-t" option.

/usr/lib/sendmail -t 

works with no problems for me and pine 3.96 .
