in conversations with another infoserv customer, it seems that using a
real waffle 1.65 and setting `node' and `uucpname' correctly makes
everything work wonderfully (tests still going on).

[first it was analogies, now it's getting as bad as `what would have Walt

I don't know why infoserv modified it in the first place (then again, 1.63
_was_ a long time ago, and I don't know how many would like to be using
an UNmodified copy of that now), but hopefully it's resolved now.

I have never had a problem mailing to the address in the supplied Reply-To:
line - although I have seen headers from someone else where infoserv and
someone's site were bouncing everything back and forth for a while until
they gave up - but that was quite a while ago.

although the Message-ID problem was legitimate, any software which looked at
the From: line with a Reply-To: there was not conformant anyway.
