WARNINGS
Using two separate mail programs to access the same mail file simultaneously (usually inadvertently from
two separate windows) can cause unpredictable results.
The length of the subject string (used with the
-s command line option) and filenames (used with the -f
and -i command line options) is limited to 255 characters. If the length exceeds this limit, the strings will
be truncated to 255 characters.
