by I'm trying to use the metamail package (version 2.7) for sending MIME
messages from the command line and have noticed that since the command line
can get quite long (200+ characters when you consider needing specify
from/to/cc: email addresses, email subject text, MIME encoding information,
file name, etc), that the command line actually gets TRUNCATED so only a
portion of the command line is actually submitted for processing. This
*also* seems to happen if I try to run the long command line from within a
script. I thought the maximum number of characters allowed on the command
line was *much* larger than the 100-200 characters that I'm trying to
run/submit.
I'm running telnet sessions and here's some setup information for my
current session. If there's other information you might need to assist,
please let me know and I'll repost.
I guess I don't know if this is an AIX config problem or a metasend problem.
# tty
/dev/pts/87
# stty
speed 9600 baud; -parity hupcl
brkint -inpck -istrip icrnl -ixon onlcr tab3
echo echoe echok

Thanks for any/all information!
