How about at least defining a standard way to indicate the path is not a valid mail address? (This should be true on moderated newsgroups and articles recieved via recmail.) Would any software break (other than the already broken software that assumes path is a valid mail address) if the string following the last ! was null? (Moderaters who try to ensure the path line contains a uucp mail path to the poster prevent the article going to those sites mentioned.) -- Bob Larson Arpa: Blarson@Ecla.Usc.Edu blarson@skat.usc.edu Uucp: {sdcrdcf,cit-vax}!oberon!skat!blarson Prime mailing list: info-prime-request%ais1@ecla.usc.edu oberon!ais1!info-prime-request
