[net.mail.headers] MCI Mail

Recently I was on a business trip to complete a contract with a three-letter
government agency.  Since I had no stationery with me at the time, I decided
to use MCI Mail to send in the invoice.  Well, a month passed, and I called
down to the Finance office, who told me 'We never received it.'  This didn't
sound right - I had never had MCI lose mail before.  A few days later, the
Finance people called, telling me they had found the invoice.  After some
questions, I found that the bright orange invoice had been placed, UNOPENED,
on the desk with ADVERTISEMENTS.  By coincidence, I had called just before
someone got around to opening the "ad" - my invoice.

So much for casting "leading technology" onto those who know nothing about it.
