This does not, of course, mean that some bug isn't causing inews to get forked. The recording problem is more serious. It applies to delivermail+recnews as well as sendnewsmail. recnews could use the -D flag, but this would defeat the purpose of recording - if someone routinely uses mail (or emacs or his favorite user interface) to post articles, he will never be warned about what he isn't supposed to post. The same problem happened when inews wouldn't create a new newsgroup without asking permission unless it was in the background, and the problem was solved by just making it bomb out. I don't have a good solution here - if someone does, please speak out. Mark
