Re: Baroque (and unrepliable) addresses
So you want a reply command that works 100% of the time? So does the
rest of the world! The UUCP/Berknet/ARPA environment is just too weird
and full of glitches for any static program to handle it. Berkeley's
Mail program makes a valiant attempt but botches about half the time
I try to use the reply command.
The real answer is to go to a simpler naming scheme, which IS happening.
In the meantime you'll just have to grit your teeth and type it by hand
if reply doesn't do the right thing.
