[net.emacs] GNU 18.23.2 -- mail-util.el

avolio@decuac.DEC.COM (Frederick M. Avolio) (10/25/86)

Is there any reason why the change I made here won't work?  (I posted
it a while back but it hasn't been changed in any GNU distribution
I've seen... that makes me wonder.)  I think it takes care of the
problem...  (My changes marked with `!'.)
