2990.0. "MCC_ALARMS_MAIL_ALARM.COM not sending mail" by RDGENG::PRATT () Wed May 13 1992 12:27

Running VMS T1.2.7

I'm sure someone else must have seen this, but I can't see anything in the Notes
file since 1.2.7 was released. 

I have set up an alarm which should mail me when it fires. When the alarm fires
notification displays it correctly, but no mail is sent. Checking the log file
it would appear that the description is being used as the personal name.
