I believe you. Anyway it's probably irrelevant since metamail does run
for me, it just won't run the apps. More precisely, I get the SYS1041
error when metamail tries to run any app.

All the apps are on my path and I don't use full pathnames in the
mailcaps file. I also
tried full pathnames. Still doesn't work. Tried forslash, backslash
and double backslash with no success. Checked the pathnmae for the
mailcaps environment var, tried forslash, backslash and double backslash
there too, no luck. Uppercase vs. lowercase makes no difference either.
The runtime behavior is always exactly the same, even if I don't define
the mailcaps environment variable in config.sys. Yes, I reboot after
modifying config.sys.
Strange! What works for you doesn't work for Jerry Levy and neither
yours nor Jerry's method works for me. Are we all at different
emx.dll revision levels? When I run emxrev.cmd I get:
EMX : revision = 50
EMXIO : revision = 50
EMXLIBC : revision = 52
EMXLIBCM : revision = 52
EMXLIBCS : revision = 52
EMXWRAP : revision = 50
What do you get? Jerry?
Thanks for your help and suggestions so far.
