System: NetBSD glen 1.5.2 NetBSD 1.5.2 (GLEN) #7: Sat Mar 23 06:47:58 PST 2002 root@glen:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GLEN i386


>Description:
	Try using Mail::Mailer or Mail::Send with the default delivery
	method (mailx).  The mail headers will be mangled because Mail::Mailer
	uses the OS name to determine how to invoke mailx, and then uses
	interactive mailx commands that on NetBSD require mailx to be invoked
	correctly (either from a terminal, or with the right argument).

	This results in the Subject line coming through as:
		~s This here spiffy subject
>How-To-Repeat:
	#!/usr/pkg/bin/perl
	use Mail::Mailer;
	$mailer = Mail::Mailer->new();
	$mailer->open({From => 'collver@linuxfreemail.com',
		To => 'devnull@elsewhere.com',
		Subject => 'There here spiffy subject'})) or die "Oh no $!\n";
	print $mailer "This here spiffy content.\n";
	$mailer->close();
