>From decvax!utzoo!henry@Berkeley Tue Oct 27 15:33:43 1981 procedural complaint One of Unix's virtues is that the system and its utilities do not run off at the mouth. It is annoying that unix-wizards is distributed via the mouthiest piece of software I have ever seen, to wit the mailer program that insists on sending me endless 170-line messages telling me who did/didn't get my 10-line letter! This is ridiculous, folks -- isn't there some way to shut the damn thing up?
