June, The real problem on BITNET is that RFC 821 is not fully implemented. Specifically, it does not retain the envelope information such as the MAIL FROM info, which was designed exactly for this application. If that information was retained and properly used, there would be no need for any special-purpose header types and no requirement for any mail agents to be taught to parse headers. Please obtain a copy of RFC 821 and read it before replying. --Frank
