Repl has this obnoxious feature. On very long addresses, it formats the
return address with a person's name on the first line, and the address
on the second line. For example:
To: Colin Walls
<ctw%sun.central-services.umist.ac.uk@NSFnet-Relay.AC.UK>
cc: UNIX-SW-REQUEST
<@wsmr-simtel20.army.mil:UNIX-SW-REQUEST@wsmr-simtel20.army.mil>
Unfortunately, post then chokes on this complaining that the address
loses and it's not delivered to anyone. I assume it's because there's
no legal address on the first line.
The question is, how can I fix this? Can I change my replcomps? I don't
see anything in there that sets a field width. Is post the actual culprit?
Can it be fixed?
Here's the pertinent info:
~/Mail/replcomps:
%(lit)%(formataddr %<{reply-to}%|%<{from}%|%<{sender}%|%{return-path}%>%>%>)\
%<(nonnull)%(void(width))%(putaddr To: )\n%>\
%(lit)%(formataddr{to})%(formataddr{cc})%(formataddr(me))\
%<(nonnull)%(void(width))%(putaddr cc: )\n%>\
%<{subject}Subject: Re: %{subject}\n%>\

Since this option disables the address parser, it could be the problem. If you try this, please let us know what happens. -- John Romine

My version of bsd Mail handles such things just fine. IMHO, Repl is doing the right thing. It's obviously attempting to fold long addresses in the most asthetic (and least dangerous) place. I'd fix post if I were you. - Robert Stephens
