 Here is the easiest way to reply.  Send mail to your nearest uucp 
 gateway (if all else fails, send netmail to 1:140/22).  Address it to 
 UUCP.  Make the first line of your message: 
 
 TO: asuvax.eas.asu.edu!bosco.Berkeley.ECU!raymond 
 
 This came from the "From" line in the header of the message that was 
 sent to you.  Make sure a blank line separates this line from the rest 
 of your message.  The gateway will then forward the message on to the 
 recipient.

 I agree.  I am writing a utility to fix this problem.  It should be 
 fixed within the week. 
 
 Normally I would have posted this in Netmail, but I'm sure many of you 
 may have similar questions.
