mailx error message : mailx: NUL changed to @

If I use the "Mail" link instead of the "mail" link to ../mailx I get this error.

Mail so-n-so @whatever.com
mailx: NUL changed to @
Unknown command: "postmaster"


The email still goes through but i get the error.

If I use "mail" it goes thru without the error.



Any ideas??
