In pine2.4/pine/send.c, somewhere around line 675, there is this line:
sprintf(mail_cmd, "(( %s %s < %s ; rm -rf %s) & )< %s",
SENDMAIL, SENDMAILFLAGS, tmpfile, tmpfile);
This creates the system call for sendmail. I found that the parens and
redirection didn't seem to work with 386bsd, so I changed it to:
sprintf(mail_cmd, "(%s %s < %s ; rm -rf %s) &",
SENDMAIL, SENDMAILFLAGS, tmpfile, tmpfile);
and this fixed the problem for me. Sorry I don't have any diffs ready :(
