I investigated the problem of inability to mail files from the print
menu in the DOS port. I actually found two separate problems. The
main problem was that when WIN_EX was integrated, it left no action
for DJGPP in the LYPrint.c mailing function. There are a few ways to
fix this. Since LYOpenTempFD is ifdef'd to "DOSPATH", LYCloseTempFD
should be ifdef'd to the same. It is now ifdef WIN_EX. Although I
don't particularly like DOSPATH, WIN_EX doesn't seem to be the correct
substitute. The following patch reverts to the old behavior, but keeps
WIN_EX for the blat mailer.

The second problem I had was due to the fact that the SENDMAIL.EXE
program by Alfredo Cole was compiled with WATTCP, while LYNX.EXE
was compiled with WATT-32. WATT-32 is configured to use "mtu",
while WATTCP uses "mss". The default WATTCP.CFG file that I used
and distributed had only mtu specified. Adding the "mss" value for
backward compatibility allowed SENDMAIL.EXE to work properly. I'll fix
this when I put up the next binary package.

Patch is against dev.6. I haven't had a chance to do dev.7 yet.
