2602.0. "DECwindows Mail Problem." by UTRTSC::CAHILL () Thu Apr 12 1990 09:58

    Can anyone give me some info on mail from decwindows;
    
    I have a customer who can send mail OK from VMS and decwindows from a
    privileged user but sending the same mail from a non priv user he gets
    the following.
    
    Normal VMS mail works OK,but from decwindows he gets 
    
    "error opening mail file invalid device  xxxx:".
    
    The problem is not related to the privileges because if he sets full
    privileges he still gets the same problem.The username he used
    without a problem was SYSTEM.
    
    How does decwindows mail differ from standard vms mail in relation to
    this problem (maybe some logical names etc..)?
    
    The customer is using VMS 5.3.

	Try ABBOTT::DW-MAIL. You might also want to give a little more information about how you are running mail (detached, sub-process, from fileview...). Dick
