In reconstructing the address/route for a reply message, repl does not
seem to parse the From: field in an invariable manner. Ie sometimes
it fails to give the proper To: field. I enclose three files, two
typescripts and my replcomps, which only says to look at From field.
Incidentaly I do not use this replcomps, but another which looks at
Return-path and Reply-to fields, with -query, just to know what
addresses the reply message gets before getting a returned-message.
The first typescript is a session in which to read and reply to a
message from Kyoto, Japan. Look at the last couple lines which comes
after whom command. "junichinakamura" can be nothing but a result of
repl's efforts to parse the From: field, I guess.
Strangely enough though the same replcomps produces the proper To:
field in the reply to a message from another user on campus. This is
shown in the second typescrip enclosed.
The third is the replcomps I used to get these typescript.
As I said I am living with this feature/bug but would appreciate if
anyone could suggest a once-for-all solution or if the next version is
free from such a complaint.
