Hi,

I have received some complaints/comments from some outside NeXT users who say  
that when they try to reply to my mail messages using the 'reply' function they  
can't do it because my 'From:' field has  @@ in the address name instead of a  
single @.  Do any of you Next/unix gurus have an idea how to debug the problem?   
I am also using a next computer.  Enclosed below are excerpts from two messages  
bringing my attention to the problem.

Thanks,

Peter Seidl

   Your From: field looks like this...
 
From: seidl@@ (Peter Seidl)

   You need to work on your mail setup.
