As a matter of course, it appears that SCO's mail runs it as:

    execmail -f from user ...	(with an argv[0] of "..execmail")

I provided support for all the flags (although in some cases that support
is merely ignoring a flag without choking) so that hopefully other stuff
which interfaces with execmail will continue to work with smail hiding
there instead.  For example, it's possible that Micnet or some third party
stuff (e.g. SMTP) tries to use the other flags.

No, there are only two of us.  We just post a lot.
