Subject: ZMAIL BROKEN, I think the problem is in using KBIN files created on an XL400 running 7.4 with eco's
--Text follows this line--

I clicked on a mail message to start editing it, and this is what happened.
This problem occurs on all machines at our site, except the XL400.  Evidently, the XL400, or KBIN, broke the mail file
so that now the individual mail messages can't be editited.
thanks.

We've been having the discussion about how to let other Symbolics users now about bugs so that they
don't waste time tripping over something that is already known about.
Well...... here's my input I've wasted about four good weekend hours so far on this.

(I suggest users just tag the subject with BUG-REPORT, or maybe we should set
up a slug sub mailing list for bugs.)
