I attempted to run 'vacation' on one of my Un*x accounts to see what kind
of header  it generates,  as I  had read  something about  a 'Precedence:
junk'  tag in  the help  files.  Unfortunately, instead  of the  expected
message I  got a nastygram saying  that there was an  unknown imail error
139, that the core was dumped followed  a memory fault and that a copy of
the offending  message would follow (which  it did). In addition  I got a
message with  empty body whose subject  said I was in  vacation and whose
header  contained no  particular tag,  other than  the usual  'From:' and
'To:'. So, it looks  like there is no such tag in  the current version of
of the  program. I sincerely doubt  anybody will be able  to convince the
Un*x folks to update  their program in this fashion just  for the sake of
this IBM heresy  known under the name  of BITNET; your only  chance is to
find a case where it screws up their UUCP lists, suggest that they should
NOT solve  the problem  by adding  a 'Precedence: junk'  tag to  the mail
header because  this would  cause serious  LISTSERV mailing  loops within
BITNET, and wait a couple months :-)
