I was the one with the Linux system and bash. However, I was using a beta
version of bash 1.13 which has fixed a bug from bash 1.12. This bash 1.12
bug caused the old sendmail line to work just fine. When I started testing
bash 1.13, people started complaining about my empty messages :-). I changed
the sendmail line in the same way Dave did.
