I thought that RFC822 didn't allow multiple TO:, SUBJECT:, DATE: lines in the header section of a mail message. For the last few weeks we've been getting messages that have this, anyone know why??? dave stevens Senior Systems Programmer Stevens Institute of Technology Internet: DSTEVENS@VAXC.STEVENS-TECH.EDU Bitnet: DSTEVENS@SITVXA "I was thinking of Socrates when he said "I drank what ?"" -Real Genius ------------

I reviewed RFC 822 briefly. The BNF suggests that a multiple "Date:" line
shouldn't happen, but I could find no restriction on multiple "To:" or "Subject:"
lines. If there is something in RFC 822 that you believe imposes such a
restriction, please cite the reference by paragraph and page number.
I would think that a reasonable RFC 822 implementation would simply ignore
extraneous Date: and Subject: lines. Multiple To: lines are easy; just append
the new data to the old data.
