I've been looking at garbage like this for several weeks now, trying to figure out how my sister-in-law can send me mail from her VAX/VMS. Apparently, VMS MAIL treats everything between "'s as some sort of special case. On top of that, we recently started communicating with an OEM of ours, a Schlumberger subsiduary in Norway, via email. The path, from a VMS system, is through ...ta da... sdr.slb.com. Guess how long that connection took to figure out! -- Larry Blair ames!vsi1!lmb lmb%vsi1@ames.arc.nasa.gov
