Are there any opinions, informed or otherwise, concerning DEC's
Mail-11 protocol and its refusal to handle non-VMSmail headers ?
I find it infuriating to have mail with a reply-to routed through
a VAX running a Mail-11 gateway system, only to hear from the
recipient that the reply-to has been "excised" from the header,
and now, as far as RFC???-compliant mailers are concerned, is
actually part of the message ? Does anyone know if DEC plan to
do anything about this appallingly parochial approach before X.400 ?
