mailpost whoes about undefined $_

[Harald Dunkel]

Hi folks,

I've got an error message from mailpost telling me

------ pipe to |/usr/lib/news/bin/mailpost -b /var/tmp my.newsgroup
       generated by my.newsgroup at mailhost ------

Use of uninitialized value $_ in pattern match (m//) at /usr/lib/news/bin/mailpost line 204, <STDIN> line 2.

Most EMails are processed without this problem. Here is a
suggested patch:

     push @errorText, "($_)\n";



Would you mind to check?


Many thanx
