 As Eric points out, this is not a workable solution.  ATTMAIL seems to
 be broken, and that's the best place to start.  Having said that...

 Ha!  Good luck!  After my letter to the postmaster at ATTMAIL.COM was
 returned to me with some cryptic garbage in the header, I *phoned* the
 number listed in the mail header.  The person I spoke with was rude,
 argumentitive and didn't understand my questions.  He even claimed that
 the line "Subject: Help Ticket ID: 2699" was not inserted by ATTMAIL.
 His maintained that the Internet inserted the line.  When I demanded
 that I be transfered to someone who could explain what was wrong, he
 refused saying he didn't see what good that would do.  Great, so at
 best, they have one rude employee that answers the phone number they
 place in their e-mail headers, and their mail software rejects mail
 that (I assume) is RFC-822 complient.  That hardly justifies asking
 200+ Listeserv sites to change their code.

 -jj
 
 PS - In all fairness, the rude person at ATTMAIL did say he would have
 someone call me back after I insisted.  Of course, nobody has done so,
 but it's the thought that counts right?
 
 PPS - My thanks to whomever has kindly taken on the task of generating
 AT&T ticket numbers on behalf of ATTMAIL.  Yeah right!
