[bit.listserv.mailbook] Error with explicit routing address to uunet

VERONICA@YORKVM1.BITNET (Veronica Timm) (02/07/90)

Sorry about the cross posting.  MAILBOOK gives an error when attempting
to reply to a mail item with the following 'From:' address.

From:   John Smith <@uunet.uu.net,@munnari:psyj-bre@medusa.ua.oz.au>

MAILBOOK error:
Missing > in address beginning with:
     @uunet.uu.
Colon missing after explicit route beginning with John Smith  <@uunet.

Any explanations?

It's a bug.  The address parser didn't realize that multiple
source routes were possible. :-)
