[mod.computers.vax] INFO-VAX Flow Control

EALYON@SUNRISE.BITNET (02/01/87)

  Is there any provision for sequencing of INFO-VAX messages?  I find it very
annoying to receive answers to questions days before I receive the question.
 
  Why do I often receive multiple copies of some messages?
 
  Why do some messages come with the Reply-To field specifying the originator
and some specifying <INFO-VAX@SRI-KL.ARPA>?

I often had the same problem when I was receiving mailing lists on a
Bitnet only machine - I have an idea that it may be a problem related to
the Bitnet/Arpa gateway at wiscvm; on the arpanet I have no problems
with sequencing.

I have no solution, but I am interested if anyone can explain this
problem.

I am having the same problem receiving info-vax mail on an ARPANET machine,
though I have not noticed whether or not the problem occurs only with messages
that originated on BITNET.
