Would somebody PLEASE fix the Berkeley mail software to generate
message headers that Milnet sites can reply to? Milnet is not adopting
domains at the present time; either those sites should be added to the
NIC host table or they should use "%" or some similar kludge.
I am tired of not being able to reply to urgent correspondence. It
is NOT alright to shut off mail access to non-domain sites!

Great, and fix TOPS-20 mailers so they do a date line that people who obey the RFC can parse. -Ron

Here we go again. Let's point the fingers at the keyboards and solve the problems instead of pointing them at each other and raising our blood pressure. And now, a joke: a couple of months back I presented a paper at an electronic mail conference. For a slide or two I was talking about header munging and why it was a bad thing. I used a rhyme to sum it all up: Humpty Dumpty went through a relay, Humpty Dumpty was munged in the melee; And Hermes, and MH, and Crispin's MM, Couldn't put Humpty back together again. (it didn't go over well there either...) /mtr
