Re: Gnus ignores exit value of `sendmail-program'

I'm going to drop gnus-bugs since this is not a Gnus bug anymore. If that's the wrong thing to do, feel free to repost -- but I think they'd mostly prefer to pick up the thread again when we fix it ;-) Simon> Try calling emptyfile using execle() in C, it fails. Simon> Calling it from shells succeeds though. It seems like Simon> call-process-* somehow invokes the shell and then the Simon> command (since it returns 0 when invoking an empty file). No, I checked that before sending my post. call-process does its thing by forking and execvp(3), not through a system(3) call. Simon> (call-process "/tmp/emptyfile") should not return 0 IMHO. OK, but this is beyond me. Ben, can you help?
