IF all Bitnet mail was delivered using (B)SMTP (i.e., an >envelope instead of a header) ... But that's not the case, which leave LISTSERV back in the RFC822 realm. Aside from that, and a minor quibble with "REPLY ALL" to reply to the list ("REPLY TO"??), I agree. Anybody care to guess when, if ever, we will have BSMTP mailer at every node on BITNET?
