Speaking of RFC822 support... LISTSERV@DEARN has been bouncing tons of rejection notices to me, looking like that: Received: from ohio-state.ARPA by wiscvm.wisc.edu on 02/12/87 at 01:18:10 CST Return-Path: <[log in to unmask]> Received: from wiscvm.wisc.edu (wiscvm.wisc.edu.ARPA) by ohio-state.ARPA (4.12/6.1.OSU-CIS) id AA29861; Thu, 12 Feb 87 02:13:56 est Date: 12 February 1987, 08:05:17 MEZ From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Returned mail: Unable to deliver mail Message-Id: <[log in to unmask]> To: <@wiscvm.wisc.edu:[log in to unmask]> ----- Transcript of session follows ----- 554 <@wiscvm.wisc.edu:[log in to unmask]>...

(rest of message deleted) ------- Obviously the mailing agent is parsing < and > characters in the mail body. Neat... Now I have 40 pieces of rejection mail (200 lines in the average) in my reader, and I bet the sender is wondering why the heck he can't get his mail through... Eric PS: Peter: I think you should remove the @ECLB.ARPA people from MEDINF-L. They obviously do not receive a single message. Perhaps the domain address is incomplete and ought to be more fully specified?
