We, in fact, use the flag in all but one of our own mailer specifications. While I'm on the subject of mailer specifications... If uunet's use of the 'm' flag in our UUCP mailer has presented a problem for any UUNET subscriber please send mail to postmaster@uunet.uu.net (I doubt there are any or I would have heard of it already). For those UUNET subscribers with a smart mailer who don't wish to have domain style addresses converted to UUCP style paths within the envelope of mail sent to their site from uunet, send postmaster@uunet.uu.net a message to this effect. We'll cease this necessary nastiness for smart uucp sites. -- James Revell uunet postmaster revell@uunet.uu.net /8^{~
