It is a known problem, relating to sendmail. It used to work on my
NetBSD system, but now it doesn't. Sendmail has to be configured for
this. I found a bit about it in a book in the local bookshop, and it
looked horrendous. I'd already tried playing about with the quotes.

I'll be interested in the answer because I'll eventually want to do the
same thing myself on the RaQ. Possibly worth reposting under 'sendmail
piping'?

Regards, Ian.
