This might not be the exact right forum but then again it might very well be. Apparently the country domain for Austria is .at, I recently received a request to add such an address to the INFO-FUTURES mailing list. Wanna guess what a lot of mailers do with foo.at? Like, change it to foo.@ (urgh.) Call it Internet black humor. -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die, Purveyors to the Trade 1330 Beacon Street, Brookline, MA 02146, (617) 739-0202

Are there not also three letter ISO codes for countries?  I was under
the impression that either the two letter or the three letter code
would work.  Maybe Austria should use the three letter code instead of
`at'.  Just a thought passing through a fogged mind.
