Here's one for grins and giggles.
Drew Derbyshire left our employ a while ago, but still has a 'courtesy
account' on one of our systems.
I am on the TCP-IP mailing list as redistributed by LISTSERV.
Some nameless poet posted a spoof on 'Stairway to Heaven'. I received it,
and from within RICE mail, did a 'FORWARD drew'. I added a few lines of
commentary, and hit SEND.
It goes to Drew's account, where it is logged, and a automatic 'vacation'
program issues a reply. Unfortunately, it went to the TCP-IP mailing
list.
Reason? Seems that the Rice Mail 'FORWARD' command left LISTSERV's
'Reply-To: [log in to unmask] intact.
Any comments? Is this a bug? If so, on whos part? Or is it just an
unfortunate combination of features acting in a must unexpected synergistic
manner?
Valdis
