I'm experiencing some problems with the UNIX* electronic
mail system.  I hope somebody on the net can help me!
Some mail items that I send seem to get corrupted in
very strange ways.  Often many lines of what appears
to be debugging or logging information find their
way to the beginning of my mail item!  I'm pretty sure
that this isn't happening on my machine.  Example:

	% mail alice!mvs
	hello
	.
	% mail
	1 messages
	From alice!mvs Thu Feb 19 12:23:45 1987
	hello

	?dq
	%

If I send the same mail item to a friend at another site
he receives something quite different!  Lines of the form

	Received: by xxx.yyy.UUCP (4.12/4.7)
		id AA12424; Mon, 16 Feb 87 14:09:06 est

are often added.  I've omitted the names as to not embarass
the people at that site (Hello Laura!).  Surely these should be
written to a log file and NOT into my mail item!  Often the
"From" line gets horribly mutilated.  '%' signs crop up, which
suggests to me that someone is screwing up a printf somewhere.
Some of the output looks like what happens when I printf bad
pointers!  Occaisonally a greater-than-sign '>' is prepended
to a line in the body of the message, and sometimes the top
of the item gets completely scrunted, particalularly my chess games.
Can anyone help me pinpoint the problem.  I wouldn't want to
go screaming to the system administrator if it wasn't his fault!

Also my mail sometimes goes on the road for a couple of days.
I've sent mail to a friend down the corridor and judging from the
baggage tags it has been holidaying at some other machines?  Where
exactly is "seismo", it doesn't seem to be on my floor.  Who is
"mc" and where is his vax?  Maybe it's down in the comp center?
Aren't there maps of these things?

Please post your answers for obvious reasons!
