For various reasons which  include inter-network capability and compatibility
with local  mailing conventions,  LISTSERV always uses  the MAILER  to transmit
mail messages.  If some  MVS nodes cannot  handle class M,  I think  the MAILER
should  be fixed.  The problem  is  if I  start sending  replies directly  from
LISTSERV, some other  nodes will complain that their  local gateway/mail format
converter (eg convert RFC822 to X400 format if they use a X400 mailing package)
and suchlike  are not working  any more. And I'd  say that UCLA-mail  would not
intercept mail any more since it would probably come in Netdata format (Peter?)
 
  Please note  that FRECP11 will  be down from tomorrow  (19th) to the  24th of
december. Please  try not to start  another heated argument on  this list since
the FRORS31 people  will probably purge any  file in excess of 150  left in the
FRECP11 transmitter's  queue and the more  files there are, the  more they will
be inclined to purge some of them... ;-)
