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.
