10.5: Mail, sent messages, and zombie process problems
Authored by: robg on Feb 24, '09 05:54:45AM

You are correct; I used the wrong term. They're not really zombies (as they do vanish when you quit Mail, and my understanding of a zombie is that it wouldn't do that), but they are apparently dead processes that are spawned then not killed off each time you send a message.

I've modified the hint and title to be more accurate; thanks for the catch.
