This is an interim patch to the pc-mail software (comp.sources.misc
april 1988).  It fixes a problem with mangled From_ addresses (!user
instead of host!user) that occurs when the pc talks to a UNIX uucp
host that does not tell the host name in the initial (Shere) message.

A new release of the software is anticipated for end of January 1990.
