[comp.dcom.telecom] Fix For USENET Reply Problem

chip@vector.dallas.tx.us (Chip Rosenthal) (08/26/89)

It has been brought to my attention that some USENET readers of
comp.dcom.telecom might be having problems replying to messages here.
This problem effects only those people using the "readnews" or "vnews"
news reading programs, and only occurs on messages which look something
like:

    Reply-To: Chip Rosenthal <chip@vector.Dallas.TX.US>

The problem is that these programs aren't handling the "<address>"
correctly, even though this is legal syntax.  I have posted a fix to this
problem to the USENET news.software.b group, see article
<705@vector.Dallas.TX.US>.  If you use either "readnews" or "vnews", you
might want to ask your local news administrator to install this fix.
