The "r" (= reply) command in the version of vnews currently installed at Berkeley seems to assume a greater degree of intelligence in the mail system than actually exists. When replying to a path sitea!siteb!...!sitez!foo!bar it puts in the "To:" field of the reply the contents of the "From:" field of the message being replied to, which is typically "bar@foo". If we don't talk to foo, the local mailer bounces it back, I have to go track down the message I was replying to, and then compose a reply path to get to foo. This shouldn't be necessary. Has anybody fixed this yet? Or am I just overlooking something? ____ Bill Laubenheimer ___ / \ ___ UC-Berkeley Computer Science / \ | o o | / \ ucbvax!wildbill ------+++----------()----------+++------ ...Killjoy was here!
