Just think about what happens if:
 
1. An EARN site submits a distribution request for a mail file containing
   JCL  and  lists  of addresses  in  the  mail  body,  and some  of  the
   addressees are BITNET users?
 
2. A  BITNET site submits  a non-corrupted distribution request  and some
   EARN site on the way corrupts it?
