It is not related to these fixes, it is a bug in LSVLTELL. I have a fix
but I cannot distribute it due to the global renaming I have already
mentioned. It creates a VMSES like situation where you have to install
2000 unrelated changes if you want a fix. If you do want the whole thing,
drop me a note and I'll send it.

Oh, I have an EXEC to purge these. There are a few CMS6 sites with the
REXX interpreter bug that won't fix it due to having an otherwise working
system and not wanting to break it just for that (thanks again IBM for
giving us OCO and VMSES). I'm used to large amounts of trash popping up
in my reader, since our policy is to subscribe our 'staff' list to
mailing lists of interest rather than subscribe individual members (and
here I press ENTER and *beep* 'New mail from [log in to unmask]), except
for BITNET lists to which I am encouraged to subscribe personally since
nobody else is interested. I have another EXEC to process all these
fascinating sendmail configuration and IETF working group discussions.
Now that doesn't mean you should all rush to your terminals and get me
100 junk messages each, but if you do need to test something, go ahead.
Eric
