The following is a message I got trying to do a simple 1R
in RMAIL to a digest-people letter. If we're going to
discuss "strange" netsites, how about brain damaged
machines that can't just send a "mail undeliverable"
letter. Obviously, in this case, it was a dead/hung
site, but shouldn't the mailer distinguish between net
mail, which couldn't care less, and local mail which may.
God forbid a digest contrtibuter should get something like this!
