Almost one 'Received:' per RSCS link... Poor user > :-) /Eric Well, since I have one foot mired in the Internet world and the other in BITNET, I'd like to say that the Received lines are useful, for reasons that I'll detail some other time if someone asks. In any case, it's appropriate to have a user agent that allows the user to suppress any type of header line that he doesn't care about. I suppress Received: lines, since I get many many messages from the Internet gatewayed to me on BITNET, and there are usually 15 lines of Received: junk. But, it's there for me to see when there's a problem, like slow delivery. (But maybe people on BITNET don't want to know about that, since all BITNET delivery is slow... ;-) No flames please; I still think BITNET has some major advantages over Internet.) /Leonard
