  I  think I  know what  happens. There  was  a bug  in the  RFC822 parser  of
LISTSERV. It  was documented as  returning the  REPLYTO information in  what I
called 'address format', ie:
 
     localpart <blank> domainpart <blank> full name
 
  However for  some reason I  had called the wrong  routine in the  code which
caused the  parser to  return the  contents of the  field 'as  is'. In  1.5k I
corrected this and the parser now works as documented and as intended.
 
  The mail processing routine also expected  the parser to return addresses in
the format above. Thus we were getting Reply-To fields of the form:
 
          FRECP11 <Eric@Thomas>
 
  Now this problem  is fixed. But it  seems to appear that there  is still one
place  in the  code which  I overlooked  when converting  from the  'internal'
parser  in LSVXMAIL  to  the full  RFC822 parser  (LSV822IN),  and this  place
expects the  stuff in the 'old'  format. I don't know  where it is as  I don't
have room  to keep the code  at UKACRL (I could  only get 5 cylinders  of disk
space, and only so after complaining).
