Re: Slightly Off Topic - value of variable in unix mail

Shiva,

First of all: before you read my answer, read Jareds post of yesterday:

The rest of the answer is a couple of newlines below. Please read the link above first.

Guess what the second hit was:

Maybe you're able to exploit this easy problem solving tactic next time.

Best regards,

Carel-Jan Engel
