There was an extended discussion of adding a ACK-TO: header on MAIL-L (& MAILBOOK) several months ago and that investigation revealed that although RFC 822 says that SRI will accept applications for new standard headers, it has never been done. They are quite willing to entertain such requests and will devise a procedure. I would like to see both considered as a package - as more and more gateways are created, I see both problems as causing more and more problems. -phil
