I am reasonably sure my update handles mail routing properly. RMAIL will
now properly handle address such as user%some.site@some.other.site. I haven't
tested all possibilities, but so far it has been quite reliable. The only
I haven't tried to rmail is something like pathalias. I figured not very
many CoCos are going to have the entire UUCP map on their hard drive. :-)
I am making the assumtion that most CoCo UUCP sites are connected to a smart
host which can handle the smart routing.
As for news, batching is something which still needs to be added. I haven't
yet come up with a method I have been happy with. Some ways worked, but I
thought they were too kludgy to leave in. This is another reason I'd like to
see the update a group project. I'm hoping some of you can fill in the
missing holes.
