Now that you mention it, I do have a vague memory of being highly annoyed
one time because I sent such a request to listserv@node and got a message
back saying the file was being sent as netdata. When I say I send all
commands by mail (and get mail responses), I don't mean that I send them
as bitnet mail. I send them internet. I don't think I've ever gotten a
file back when I've done that, even though I feared that things like that
might start happening once we registered our bitnet-internet connection.
(It was that kind of worry that made me glad we resisted registering for
a long time. I don't want my bitnet address being used for anything.)
