The project that's trying to standardize paths for applications in linux (sorry, it's late here and I've just finished 6 hours in the car so the name escapes me) wants to restrict /.*lib to libraries and /.*bin for apps (I'm probably oversimplifying and thereby offending someone but what the heck I don't think I'm being judgmental about it). For now you should just adjust the variable sendmail-program in your .emacs. Eventually I imagine someone will figure out how to have Emacs and/or Xemacs et al figure it out at startup time. -- Dave Goldberg david.goldberg6@verizon.net
