I also had problems with rmail and multiple command line args.  Needing
a quick fix I built the following script, which solves the immediate
problems without having to get any sources, compiling and possibly
debugging, etc... :-)

   for name
   do
      xrmail $name
   done

The name of the script is rmail and the original XENIX rmail is
renamed to xrmail.  The script will loop through all names on its
command line invoking the XENIX rmail on each one in turn.
